Justin P. Holt currently teaches political philosophy at New York University. He completed his PhD in philosophy at the New School for Social Research. His first book, Karl Marx′s Philosophy of Nature, Action, and Society, analyzes how Marx′s understanding of nature shaped his social philosophy. He has also published numerous essays on socialism, G. A. Cohen, and John Rawls.

This book provides an excellent insight into the thoughts of Marx. However, in my opinion it is more useful for the seasoned Marxist. Some prior knowledge of Marxism is necessary to get to grips with the ideologies contained in the book.
