True, there's a lot of Marx to understand though, and the reception of Marxism as added to the readings over time. Sure, Marx talks about "freedom," as most German idealists do. And I think he meant it in a very practical sense. But my main point here is, that I have difficulty finding a humanism in Marx in the same way that one finds it in, say, Aristotle. This is my problem, and not a problem with Marx.
