Theory: Online resources on Marx

For working on your papers, you may want to seek some secondary sources outside of what you have got from the Edles and Appelrouth book and my lectures. Here are a few of the online resources on Marx that you may find most useful:

• Reflections on Karl Marx: A biographical essay on Marx by Stephen Kreis.
• Marx and Engels Internet Archive: The site contains a glossary of terms, and a searchable archive of all of the writings of Marx and Engels -- good for getting all of the ways in which a term was used, for example.
• Entry on Marx from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: General presentation of Marx's main ideas by Jonathan Wolff.
• Karl Marx's Sociology: A summary of Marx's ideas and their importance for sociology by Frank Elwell.
• Lewis Coser's essay on Marx: The classic summary, from Coser's Masters of Sociological Thought.
• The "Chicago Summary" on Marx: This is one of a set of notes prepared by graduate students in Sociology at the University of Chicago to help one another prepare for their qualifying exams. It is on the web, so they help you too.

There are many more resources available -- I've tried just to offer a list of some of the ones that I think are best. You are also, of course, free to contact me with any questions, or for suggestions.
