Sommario/riassunto

A lucid analysis of Rawlsian liberalism and Marxian theory that shows the strengths and limits of each. This would be enough to make the book essential reading, but the author goes on to provide a robust defense of Marxian Liberalism: an imaginative blend of the right to liberty with the Marxist critique of private property.  -Howard McGary, Rutgers University  Reiman's exciting new book challenges the thinking of political philosophers on both left and right. Reiman argues that Marx's critique of the injustice and domination endemic to capitalism must be combined with the commitment to individual freedom which is the core value of liberalism. The book provides impressively clear and accessible discussions of sophisticated philosophical ideas. It is simultaneously a solid, original, and timely contribution to political philosophy and a good candidate for an undergraduate textbook.   -Alison M. Jaggar, University of Colorado at Boulder   "…the distinctions, concepts, and arguments Reiman develops in As Free and as Just as Possible are of great significance. They need to be studied and discussed by all those interested in Marx and justice, the real conditions of freedom, Rawls, and post-capitalism."   -Paul Warren, Social Theory and Practice.
