From Georges Sorel: Essays in Socialism and Philosophy

by Georges Sorel, Charlotte Stanley (Translator), John L. Stanley (Editor)

While including the famous Reflections on Violence, with its theoretical discussion of violence and its advocacy of the general strike, it also deals with his whole range of thought - his studies on Marxist theory, his views of the proletariat, his emphasis on social movements, and his approach to public virtue.

Just kind of a dull mess. Sorel's attempt to reconcile Marxism with social ethics is interesting and his concern is worth considering but his writing stands Damned by the progress of history. Syndicalism is a ploughed furrough and Sorel is just kind of a not particularly innovative essayist from before its expiration date.
