Hello everyone. Welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopez, and today I'm joined by Dr. Vanessa Wills. She is associate professor of philosophy at the George Washington University.
And today we're talking about her book, Marx's Ethical Vision. So Dr. Wills, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you so much for having me.
I'm excited to speak with you today. So tell me, start by telling us a little bit about what's behind this book. I mean, what got you interested in exploring what a Marxist theory would entail about the nature of morality? So I was already a philosophy student when I became familiar with with Marx's ideas and started to get to know socialists, which happened through activism that I was doing in the early 2000s.
