ISSS is pleased to provide two courses for starting your own Marxism study group: 1) the Institute in a Box, a beginning course that reviews all the primary areas of Marxist science, and 2) Marxist Philosophy: A Study Guide for Revolutionaries in the Age of Electronics, a more advanced course updating the philosophical foundations of Marxism.
The Institute in a Box curriculum is broken into 10 units. Each unit includes key terms, key concepts, suggested background readings, study activities, discussion questions, and other resources for further exploration of the concepts. The Marxist Philosophy curriculum is broken into 8 units, based upon foundational philosophical concepts.
