Marxism-Thaxis -- Forum for the discussion of theoretical issues raised by Karl Marx and the thinkers he inspired
About Marxism-Thaxis	English (USA)
Marxism-Thaxis: An open and (loosely) moderated e-mail based forum for the discussion of theoretical issues raised in both the work of Karl Marx and, more generally, the tradition(s) that work has inspired. In keeping with Marx's own attempts to bridge the gap between theory and praxis, Marxism-thaxis encourages participants to explore the theoretical and practical implications of issues raised in this forum. Indeed, we have chosen the neologism "thaxis" precisely to convey our own interest in the integration of theory and praxis. We welcome all new participants.
