  Ernst Bloch Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) was a humanistic interpreter of Marxist thought, justifying and amplifying the religious and philosophical appeal of the beliefs of Karl Marx.
Bloch was born in Germany July 8, 1885, and studied, taught, and died there, but he lived in exile from the Hitler regime after 1933 and in the United States from 1938 to 1948.
Bloch gained his fame as a humanistic interpreter of Marxist thought, explaining the thrust of Marx's historical materialism in terms of a tendency on the part of all things to become more and better than they are.

 Ernst Bloch, Utopia and Ideology Critique [By Douglas Kellner]
Bloch discerns, for example, how Adler's Will to Power is related to competitive capitalist drives to move from the bottom to the top and how his theories of inferiority complex and neurosis reproduce the feelings of those strata of capitalist societies who have failed economically and who thus blame themselves for their failures (57ff.).
Bloch then points out that the hecticness of life and the structural anxiety that permeates life in capitalist society --which submits the underlying population to the vagaries and uncertainties of the market,-- produce tendencies toward escape and regression, especially among the middle and lower petite-bourgeois strata.
Cultural surplus for Bloch has the potentiality of utopian surplus which anticipates, previews, and points to a better organization of society and everyday life, and it is the task of the cultural critic to discern and unfold this progressive potential and to relate it to the struggles and possibilities of the present.

If Ernst Bloch was with us today he'd be quite honored that his work seems to have such a durable power,an edifice of ideologic thought where marketplace schemes of fashionable thinking refuse to erode it away.
One powerful idea of Bloch is his concept of temporality,that we all inhabit different times,and that our horizons are different,not ascending or progressing in a straight line irresprective if (on the surface) we seem to all desire identical objects and spiritual values.
In that work Bloch seized the whole of world culture to locate his concept of utopia as within the crevices of the various religions of the world,dime-novels of the Thirties,the symphony,rituals and dreams.

 Ernest Bloch
Bloch's principal training, however, would be in Frankfurt with Iwan Knorr, who most influenced the composer's distinct musical personality.
A masterly composer of music for strings, Bloch wrote four string quartets, Schelomo--A Hebrew Rhapsody (for cello and orchestra), and A Voice in the Wilderness (for orchestra and cello obbligato), which are deeply emotional works and rank among the most distinguished achievements in the neo-classic and neo-romantic idiom of early 20th-century music.
Bloch's pupil Roger Sessions praised him for his special ability to express "the grandeur of human suffering." The successful premiere by the Boston Symphony of Bloch's Trois Poemes Juifs in 1917 encouraged the composer to settle in the United States.

 Transmigration
Bloch notes that "Christianity is the paradox against all creatureliness, and all nature, in the Apocalypse heaven will depart like a rolled-up cloth, and the Kabbalah teaches, not without reason, how it was out of precisely the debris of nature that the hostile demons emerged who wanted to destroy the human realm" (271).
Bloch's denunciation of nature as the source of all that is evil in the universe is excessive even in comparison to early accounts of the same thing that appeared as de Contemptu Mundi in the first several centuries of the Christian era.
Bloch's sense of utopia, his utopian ideal, comes at the expense of nature, at the expense of any and all who embrace the material, the natural, world as the only home human beings have.

 ERNST BLOCH AND FRANZ LEE
Ernst Bloch was a Marxist philosopher who was born in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and taught at the University of Leipzig until Hitler came to power.
Unfortunately for Bloch, even though he was a Marxist, his outspoken opinions about society and economics brought him disfavor from the ruling communists.
In the evening after classes, we all went to a pub, where Bloch, together with his wife, Karola, and his students continued the discussions; the 80-year old Bloch clouding the room, enjoying smoking his pipe, wisely listening patiently to all the questions and remarks of the young students.

Whereas the historical context of Ernst Bloch′s theory of non/simultaneity is still an unreconstructed focus of social theory, his historical analysis of the social movement the German fascists represented became a matter of interest.
Ernst Bloch, for his part, included some introductory remarks to his Inheritance of Our Time explaining that his theory of non-simultaneity "executes nothing more than describing, analysing, and arguing the various and different conditions under which both being and consciousness of the proletarized members of society (those just flung into the working class) stay.
