The collapse of the Soviet Empire led many to think communism and perhaps socialism were no longer relevant to the modern world. Hegel and Marx after the Fall of Communism presents a balanced discussion for and against the validity of the arguments of two of the most important political philosophers of all time. It re-interprets their philosophies, and analyses the dynamic between Hegelian and Marxist thought. The final chapter also theorises the possible future for Hegel and Marx in the 21st Century.
