Накратко на български
Хуманистичният марксизъм анализира идеите на мислители като Ерих Фром и Франц Фанон, базирани на ранните ръкописи на Маркс. Работата помага да се разбере как тези автори търсят пълното развитие на личността, вместо самото премахване на частната собственост.

“The Humanist Marxist Tradition”: The Humanist Legacy of Marx’s 1844 Manuscripts
Summary of Context and Overall Objectives of the Project The publication of Karl Marx’s Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 changed the course of Marxism and helped to influence the trajectory of the twentieth century. Appearing first in Russian in 1927, then in the original German in 1932, and then in French in 1933-4, the 1844 Manuscripts circulated in Central and Western European intellectual circles at a time when the European continent was increasingly falling under the sway of despotism. What was most revolutionary about these writings was the incontrovertible evidence they offered of a ‘humanist’ Marx: a Marx for whom communism consisted not in the mere abolition of private property in its negative sense, as was the case in USSR under Stalin, but in the wholesale re-arrangement of socio-economic life in a manner that would enable the maximal positive fulfilment of the ‘all-round individual’. As discussion of these Manuscripts became more and more widespread, and as the anti-colonial revolutions and anti-Stalinist politics swung into full gear, a diverse but distinct group of thinkers united in greater and lesser degrees of unity around a distinctively Marxist humanist thematic arose, spread across the world from Europe, to the Americas, to Africa, to China. Focusing on figures such as C. L. R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, Erich Fromm, Aimé Cesairé, Frantz Fanon, Henri Lefebvre, the Yugoslav Praxis philosophers, and Karl Kosík, among others, the present research is focused on resurrecting the shared concerns that enlivened their works, providing the first detailed consideration of the tradition as a tradition. In so doing, it not only places the works and engagements of these Marxist Humanist thinkers in relation to the debates (over humanism, ‘the human’, race, class, gender, authoritarianism, and other factors) that structured not only Marxism but the academy and wider social life in the twentieth-century and beyond, thereby revealing the enduring interest and significance that the tradition has for the manifest challenges of the present.

Цел на проекта
The Marxist Humanist tradition has been markedly neglected within Marxist thought and within twentieth century intellectualhistory more generally. The proposed research will therefore provide the first detailed and critical account of this tradition – atradition which springs from the reception of Marx’s 1844 Manuscripts and from the humanist standpoint that was central tothem. In particular, the proposed research will look at the Marxist Humanist tradition as it is manifested in what can beconsidered the most preeminent and representative thinkers of that tradition – Henri Lefebvre, C. L. R. James, RayaDunayevskaya, Erich Fromm, Adam Schaff, and the Praxis philosophers. In so doing, the research will range across spatiotemporal boundaries and through the explicit and implicit connections of what are otherwise disparate thinkers and variant sub-traditions. It will do so with reference to the following research questions: 1) How did the thinkers mentioned make use of the 1844 Manuscripts? 2) What was the context in which their use of the 1844 Manuscripts took place? 3) What were the implications of their development of the ideas contained in the 1844 Manuscripts? 4) How and why did these implications and uses differ in different national contexts? 5) In what ways can the thinkers discussed be said to form a tradition? And what precisely does this tradition consist in? 6) From the answers to these questions, we can then ask: What can we learn from this tradition? What is there in the response of its various representatives to to the outstanding issues of their time that we can make use of in our response to the outstanding issues of our time? The project will make a significant and original contribution to the history of ideas in the social sciences, and to our understanding of the processes by which social theories are shared, translated and made anew as they are discovered and applied in the face of particular social and political situations and challenges.
