George Derwent Thomson (1903–1987)

Pretty decent introduction to the ideas of Marxism-Leninism Mao. Probably not an easy read for someone new to the subject so I wouldn't really recommend it without a grasp of communist terms. It does provide a useful summary of the key elements, which makes it useful for an introduction if you have the basics down. It uses lots of Lenin/Stalin/Mao quotes to make its points, which is something that's good and I'd rather more things that rely on their authority did. Although it's obviously show more positive about all these people, it avoids the hagiographic style you sometimes see. Overall it's decent. Nothing too exciting, but it gets the job done.

(Sad to see him excited about the cultural revolution. Hindsight :() show less

Una historia de la filosofía primitiva desde la perspectiva marxista.
Extraordinaria por lo abarcante en un libro relativamente pequeño, muy atinado en transiciones específicas que es difícil encontrar en otras historias de la filosofía, una perspectiva antropológica materialista atinada (y esclarecedora) pero con elementos por demás "panfleteros" respecto a un marco forzadamente progresista y cientificista.
La traducción no es muy buena, recomiendo leerlo en inglés.
