JULIUS WROTE:

Can anyone recommend an account of Marx?s critique of moral?

The accounts, I know of, all stretch that moral somehow is bound to a
mode of production, and that Marx thought a critique should not base
itself on such a notion, as this would be imprisoned in bourgeois ideas
of ?freedom? and ?equality?. The authors I have read acknowledge this of
everyday morals, but go on to suggest that a Marxist social critique
simply should base itself on ?over-historical? notions of freedom,
equality etc.
In small bits and pieces in the part of the ?German Ideology? on Stirner
Marx does however seem to have more radical grounds for his rejection,
e.g. that the discrepancy between egoist self-interest that of the
public only prevails in an antagonistic society.
Does anyone know something about this? Perhaps where else in Marx's own
writings I should look?
