Marx and Human Nature Quotes

“Marx - like everyone else - did reject certain ideas of human nature; but he also regarded some as being true. It is important to discriminate the sort that he rejected from the sort that he did not. More important still is it to try to discriminate such of these ideas as are indeed true from such of them as are false. Neither purpose is served by talk of the dismissal of all conceptions of a human nature, and I hope the essay here may contribute something to replacing it by more limited but, at the same time, more accurate statements of what, in this matter, Marx actually opposed.”
