The Marxist approach

The Marxist conception of man, rooted in the anthropocentrism of the Enlightenment, has three basic elements: recognition of the right to individual development, a joint social responsibility for the satisfaction of individual wants, and the rationalization of social relationships. After summarizing portions of Marxist sociology, the author goes on to discuss the emerging principle of unity of theory and practice, and the continued relevance of Marxist analytical approaches in dealing with problems of modern industrial society
