Analytic Liberalism vs. Marxism
Analytic political philosophy, rooted in liberalism, has historically viewed Marxism as wrong and totalitarian, positioning mainstream political philosophy as the enemy of Marxism. This tradition, seen in figures like Rawls and Nussbaum, upholds a non-Marxist view of politics and actively marginalizes Marxist conceptions without directly engaging with them. Additionally, within analytic departments, the dominance of liberalism sometimes leads thinkers to overextend their expertise into political matters, akin to a biologist opining on politics based on the superiority of science over humanities.
