Making Sense of Marx

Seminar Enrichment Series

Politicians never blast their opponents as “Platonic” or “Aristotelian,” but the damning label “Marxist” is routinely heard on social media and the news. What is it about Karl Marx that makes him culturally relevant and political dynamite? Join a scholar of social thought to learn who Marx was and how his ideas changed history. Together we’ll revisit his own words—The Communist Manifesto—to better understand what Marx believed and why we’re still arguing over him today.
