A Brief History of the Critical Edition of the Works of Karl Marx
摘要
This chapter discusses the endeavors to publish a historical–critical edition of the works of Karl Marx, the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA): the first attempt led by David Riazanov in the 1920s and 1930s, and the second, the MEGA2 project which began in the 1970s and which is still in course of publication. The paper presents these two editions and discusses their impact on the interpretation of Marx’s economic and philosophical thought.
