Selected Publications by Christopher J. Arthur

Christopher J. Arthur

Brighton BN2 1AP

Name: books and papers before the 90s will be under ‘Chris’ or ‘C. J.’. Note that I am not responsible for publications on Religion by a man with the same name.

Special Note on ‘Labour’: There is some confusion in the literature due to the fact that I stupidly used very similar titles for two different works. Those interested in a comparison of Marx’s Paris manuscripts with Hegel’s Phenomenology should consult the book from Blackwell (1986) called Dialectics of Labour (note the ‘of’). Those interested in my views on ‘abstract labour’ should consult my paper ‘Dialectics and Labour‘ (note the ‘and’) of 1979, itself an update of my paper on ‘The Concept of Abstract Labour’ from the CSE Bulletin 1976.
