Humorous, frank, and insightful, this book challenges the reader to step
in and take hold of what is right and to cast away what is wrong. Topics
covered included such varied subjects as private property, the
individual, the Three Philosophies of Man, women, individualism, and
more. A wonderful introduction to philosophy for the neophyte, and a joy
for the experienced student of thought.
"Imagine two of the most influential thinkers of all time, and two of
the most
diametrically opposed, thrust together in a no holds barred debate about
some of the most important questions: Does man move the world or is he
only a puppet of forces beyond his control? Is there a human nature or
only market forces? Is Communism the liberator of mankind or a deadly
scourge? In Peter Kreeft's Socrates Meets Marx, the father of
philosophy cross examines the founder of communism using the Communist
Manifesto, details from the life of Marx himself, and the witnesses of
history as evidence to be considered for judgment. If only every edition
of the Communist Manifesto would have been bound together with a copy of
this book, the world would be a much saner place." - Christopher Kaczor,
author of *Proportionalism and the Natural Law Tradition
