Marx\u2019s relation to republicanism changed over the course of his life, but its complex influence on his thought cannot be reduced to wholesale adoption or rejection. Challenging common depictions of Marx that downplay or ignore his commitment to politics, democracy, and freedom, Leipold shows that Marx viewed democratic political institutions as crucial to overcoming the social unfreedom and domination of capitalism. One of Marx\u2019s principal political values, Leipold contends, was a republican conception of freedom, according to which one is unfree when subjected to arbitrary power.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-transnational-legal-history-group-book-talk-citizen-marx-republicanism-and-the-formation-of-karl-marxs-social-and-political-thought-by-dr-bruno-leipold-online\/\">CCTL Transnational Legal History Group Book Talk \u2013 \u2018Citizen Marx: Republicanism and the Formation of Karl Marx\u2019s Social and Political Thought\u2019 by Dr. Bruno Leipold (Online)<\/a><\/p>","intro":"","remarks":"<p>Language: English<\/p>","contact_information":{"contact_person":"Bonnie Leung","contact_number":"39435508","contact_email":"swleung@cuhk.edu.hk","department":"CUHK LAW"},"content_migrated":false,"original_id":0,"photos_original":null,"original_contact_id":""},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2027-10-08 07:35:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"private","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/215654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/215654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":215705,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/215654\/revisions\/215705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215654"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=215654"},{"taxonomy":"event_participants","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_participants?post=215654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
