Summary/Abstract |
Starting his political career as a nationalist by 1902 or 1903, Manabendra Nath Roy (1887-1954) embraced Marxism by 1917, and after about three decades of Communist activities he gave up Marxism in favour of humanism. This transition from Marxism to humanism is a fascinating story which may be discussed in brief outline not simply as a tribute to his memory on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary, but also for clarification of our ideas regarding the limitations of Marxism and the way to overcome them.
