Summary, etc. 'Marx And His Legacy: A Centennial Appraisal' is a collection of some of the papers presented at the five-day seminar on Marx organised by the Karl Marx Death Centenary Committee, Calcutta University, under the chairmanship of Dr. Ramendra Kumar Poddar, the then Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University, in 1983. Three of the contributors whose papers are included in this volume sent their papers from abroad for the seminar as they could not attend it personally. The seminar was well-attended, the themes discussed were diverse, and the papers presented evoked a lot of interest. The Committee decided to publish the papers in the form of a book, because it was felt that, that would contribute modestly towards a better understanding of Marx's seminal ideas on a number of questions which are as important in the contemporary world as they were in Marx's days.<br/><br/>The actual task of publishing this Marx centenary volume, however, proved to be much more difficult than what we had originally thought it would be. Our efforts to bring out this volume came up against heavy odds, and month after month passed without our efforts being able to make any headway. It is no mean satisfaction for us, therefore, that at long last we have been able to bring out this volume..<br/><br/>As the readers will find, a few of the papers in this volume deal mainly with conceptual and theoretical issues, some probe into problems which are more or less universal in scope, and the rest examine and analyse one specific aspect or another of the Indian situation.<br/><br/>Jyoti Basu brings out in his paper the essence of Marx's teachings and stresses the supreme need in India today for creatively applying these teachings Tom Bottomore's paper presents Marxism as essentially a broad scheme of historical explanation and a profound, though incomplete, analysis of the capitalist economy, and contends that in the changed socio-economic situation on of the present day world, though Marx's thought is stilla major guide for our studies and actions, Ganguly dg to regard it as a complete it will be guide. Dhirendra Nath on the Marxian concept of man and examines the different ways in which it has been interpreted. Paul M. Sweezy scans the spread of capitalism from the advanced West to the Third World, taises some pertinent questions about the problems this historical phenomenon poses before the Marxists, and argues that though this development hus not called into question the basic ideas of Marx, it has vastly altered the dimensions and complexity of the Marxists tasks of understanding the world and changing it. Nihar Kumar Sarkar lays bare the nature of the ambiguity in the social role of intellectuals and highlights the need for adopting a correct attitude to them by the p of the proletariat. My paper concemed with the connotation of the term praxis in Marx's writings and also with the importance of the concept in Marx's thought. Horst Krüger has presented a Marxist Leninist exegesis of the need for an alliance between the international working class movement and the liberation movement in colonially oppressed and exploited countries, an alliance which ensures peace. independence and development in the world.

Sudhi Pradhan's paper unveils before us the history of the germination of radical socialist ideas in our soil. Bimal Mukhopadhyay makes an extensive survey of the influence of Marxism on the literature in different Indian languages.
