Summary
Petrović emphasizes the humanist relevance of Marx today. He argues, in his treatment of Marx's theory of history, that Marx's emphasis on historical specificity and historical change does not detach him from every general conception of human nature.
Scholarly reception
Marx in the Mid-Twentieth Century is the work for which Petrović is best remembered. Petrović's treatment of Marx's theory of history has been commended for its care by Norman Geras in his Marx and Human Nature: Refutation of a Legend (1983).
