This text argues that Marx's conception of human essence is the foundation for an ethic of liberation which permeates his social theory and testifies to his debt to Greek philosophy and culture. The author examines how his humanistic ethic was developed by Marcuse and Fromm, and how it has been rejected by Habermas and Gorz. He also explores reservations expressed from feminist and ecological standpoints. Ethical marxism, revised in the light of these criticisms, may offer insights into how progress may be made towards a socialist ethical community.
