✦ Synopsis

Recently, there has been a good deal of writing on Marx's ethical views. Almost all of it, however, has assumed that there is an essential unity to Marx's thought and thus that his views on ethics remain fundamentally unchanged throughout his writings. This view I believe to be untenable. I will argue elsewhere that in his earliest writings Marx held an ethical theory which was tied to his concept of essence, and that in his later writings (from the Grundrisse of 1857-8 on) he again revives an ethical theory. But in the middle period of his thought (from the German ldeology of 1845-6 until 1856), I hope to show in this article, Marx considered morality to be an ideological illusion.
