690 JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY 29:4 OCTOBER 1991 inaugurating a new society, and, though Marx came to see its fissures and failings, he never lost confidence in the proletariat's revolutionary nature. Harris portrays communist society as a world order without war or crime, even without need for law or external moral authority. She questions Marx's inattention to nationalism, stretches certain texts to assert that he would eliminate the family as a moral unit, assumes that capitalist technology will be uncritically adopted by communism, and incautiously conjectures that Marx recognized no terrestrial limits to growth. The resultant picture of communism chillingly puts us in mind of Hegel's observation that an immediate identification of the particular and universal is fanatical. We wonder: How well did Marx think through the social foundations of individuality? Caution must be taken, however, with an interpretation weighted toward Marx's brash predictions, especially one which glides through the more rigorous domains of his thought.
