Studies of the Russian Institute"In an important and original study, Dr. Marcuse analyzes Soviet Marxist theory from the point of view of its basic Marxian concepts. He evaluates changes in theory as the ideological and sociological consequences of the premises of Soviet Marxism and, in turn, reexamines the premises in light of these consequences. By means of this "immanent critique," the author clarifies the actual function of Marxism in Soviet society and describes its historical direction." --front flap.
