The most important paragraphs of the second attempt to prove that in the writings of Marx other forces besides the purely economic are taken into account, and that the supreme authority of the moral ideal is recognized throughout. This conclusion is reached, it is hardly necessary to say, only through the citation of isolated passages, and by impressing upon a number of these one of two or three possible interpretations. But it is well worth bringing together what Marx has said upon this subject, if only to show how meager it is.
