Reception

The historian Peter Gay wrote that Karl Marx: His Life and Environment is one of the best discussions of alienation in the literature on Marx and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and among such accounts, distinguished by its lucidity.[3] Berlin's style of writing has been praised by the political scientist David McLellan,[1] and the philosopher John Gray.[4]
