BREAKING THE BONDS OF FATE EPICURUS AND MARX 1 Delhi Aakar Books 2026 327 Breaking the Bonds of Fate: Epicurus and Marx by John Bellamy Foster is a scholarly exploration of the intellectual connection between Epicurus and Karl Marx. The book examines how Epicurus's materialist philosophy influenced Marx's early intellectual development, particularly his ideas about freedom, human agency, and the role of chance in nature and society. Foster traces Marx's engagement with Epicurean thought, beginning with his doctoral dissertation on ancient Greek philosophy, and argues that Epicurus's challenge to determinism helped shape Marx's later critique of social and economic systems. The book highlights the philosophical foundations of Marxism and shows how ancient materialist ideas continued to influence modern social and political theory. Epicureanism. Marxian philosophy.
