Abstract

Many political theorists argue that Karl Marx subscribed to a "myth of individualism" and thus failed to appreciate the importance of republicanism in the modern world. This article faults that interpretation and claims instead that Marx's theory and practice are unintelligible unless republicanism is seen as a central concern. The author insists further that an examination of Marx's critique of republicanism is not merely of historiographical significance but also yields important lessons for contemporary republican and communitarian theorists.
