Blue Collar Theoretically

<p> Though Marxism is the dominant philosophical theory applied to class in academia its real-life inconsistencies particularly stereotyping have troubling effects on working class studies. As a result of its hegemony alternative discourses have been effectively shut out of the academic world. This critical work seeks to establish a new philosophy of class drawing on disciplines as diverse as sociology cognitive science anthropology and psychology and applying a decidedly Weberian hermeneutical lens. Topics covered include a detailed exploration of Marxism a review of working class literature post-marxist theories of class and the future of the field.</p>
