The works so far mentioned amount only to a small fragment of Marx's opus, which will eventually run to around 100 large volumes when his collected work are completed. However the items selected above form the most important core from the point of view of Marx's connection with philosophy, although other work, such as the 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon (1852), are often regarded as equally important in assessing Marx's analysis of concrete political events. In what follows, I shall concentrate on those texts and issues which have been given the greatest attention within the Anglo-American philosophical literature.
