NEWS & LETTERS, February - March 2007 - The Theory of Revolution in the Young Marx Marx wrote “that not one of the French and English workers’ uprisings had such a theoretical and conscious character as the uprising of the Silesian weavers.... Löwy notes Marx’s favorable assessment of Feuerbach for “his opposing to the negation of the negation, which claims to be the absolute positive, the self-supporting positive, positivity based on itself.” Marx does hold onto this aspect of Feuerbach’s thinking--positivity based on itself--and goes further with it. Marx returns to the metaphor of religion to explain his concept of positive humanism: “atheism is humanism mediated with itself through the supersession of religion, whilst communism is humanism mediated with itself through the supersession of private property. www.newsandletters.org /Issues/2007/Feb-march/Essay_Feb-Mar_07.htm   (2144 words)

Karl Marx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Marx's view of history, which came to be called the materialist interpretation of history (and which was developed further as the philosophy of dialectical materialism) is certainly influenced by Hegel's claim that reality (and history) should be viewed dialectically, through a clash of opposing forces. Marx described this loss in terms of commodity fetishism, in which the things that people produce, commodities, appear to have a life and movement of their own to which humans and their behavior merely adapt. Marx points out that the bourgeois notion of freedom is predicated on choice (in politics, through elections; in the economy, through the market), but that this form of freedom is anti-social and alienating. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Karl_Marx   (4672 words)

The Philosophy of Karl Marx As a student at the University of Berlin, young Marx was strongly influenced by the philosophy of Georg Hegel and by a radical group called Young Hegelians, who attempted to apply Hegelian ideas to the movement against organized religion and the Prussian autocracy. Marx belonged to the Hegelian school, which had split into a "left" and a "right" by the time Marx was studying at the University of Berlin. Marx firmly supported Feurerbach but simultaneously came under the influence of scientific materialism which was spreading at the time; this explains his enthusiasm for science, his profound and ingenious belief in progress, and his prejudice in favor of Darwinian evolutionism. www.radicalacademy.com /philmarx.htm   (3006 words)

Marx - The Person - Young Hegelian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) These young philosophers had formed a little band of heretics who, though in many respects beholden to the master, had moved away from his teachings. Through them Marx was initiated into the Hegelian world system at the same time as he became a member of a group of iconoclasts who irreverently began to raise awkward and critical questions about major parts of the great man's synthesis. Marx faced an uncertain future: he was now twenty-three years of age, an amateur philosopher who had made a marked impression in advanced salons and bohemian gatherings, but had otherwise no prospects for a career. www2.pfeiffer.edu /~lridener/DSS/Marx/MARXP2.HTML   (888 words)

Footnotes to Volume 1 of Marx Engels Collected Works   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Marx’s work Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature is part of a general research on the history of ancient philosophy which he planned as far back as 1839. Marx was probably prompted to do so also by his unwillingness to take upon himself the responsibility for a possible change of line of the newspaper by which the liberal shareholders wished to prolong its existence. Marx and his followers, however, succeeded in persuading the meeting to refrain from officially denouncing the trend of the newspaper (the petition denounced only the sharp tone of its statements), and this gave the radicals grounds for signing it despite its extremely moderate form. www.marxists.org /archive/marx/works/cw/volume01/footnote.htm   (12758 words)

Karl Marx Marx's economic analysis of capitalism is based on his version of the labour theory of value, and includes the analysis of capitalist profit as the extraction of surplus value from the exploited proletariat. Marx, though, once more refrained from making this explicit; he seemed to show no interest in locating his criticism of capitalism in any of the traditions of moral philosophy, or explaining how he was generating a new tradition. Marx wanted to distance himself from this tradition of utopian thought, and the key point of distinction was to argue that the route to understanding the possibilities of human emancipation lay in the analysis of historical and social forces, not in morality. plato.stanford.edu /entries/marx   (7465 words)

Freeindiamedia.com, Express your impartial, radical, grassroot views on current issues.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Marx's own time was similarly marked by a series of turbulent social, political, and economic upheavals, all of which helped shape and produce Marxism. Breckman argues that Marx's critiques of individualism and bourgeois civil society are best understood as emerging from his engagement with the Young Hegelian critiques of political theology in general, and Christian personalism in particular, rather than from any systematic critique of political liberalism. Writing an intellectual history of Karl Marx is always a vexing endeavor since Marx's own theories of historical materialism and ideology tend to militate against the possibility of such a project. www.freeindiamedia.com /book_review/14_oct_book_review.htm   (1451 words)

GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Karl Marx Marx enjoyed a broad, secular education under his father, and found an intellectual mentor in Freiherr Ludwig von Westphalen, a Prussian nobleman with whom Marx discussed the great literary and philosophical figures of his day. Eventually, Marx realized that the revolution was not imminent, and he withdrew from his associations, burying himself in the British Museum to research the history of class conflict. Marx successfully insinuated himself into the leadership of the group, now known as the International, and delivered his famous Inaugural Address to the First International as a triumphant proclamation of his principles. www.gradesaver.com /ClassicNotes/Authors/about_karl_marx.html   (783 words)

BRILL He has published on Marx, Lukács and Walter Benjamin, as well as (with Robert Sayre) Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity (Duke, 2001). This book proposes a Marxist analysis of young Marx's intellectual evolution, from left neo-Hegelianism to his new philosophy of praxis. The central theoretical argument of the author is that Marx's philosophy of praxis - first formulated in the Thesis on Feuerbach - is at the same time the founding stone of a new world view, and the methodological basis for the theory of revolutionary self-emancipation. www.brill.nl /default.aspx?partid=10&pid=11166   (522 words)

Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach Ludwig Feuerbach, along with Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Marx, and Nietzsche, must be counted among those philosophical outsiders who rebelled against the academic philosophy of the 19th century and thought of themselves as reformers and prophets of a new culture. Marx Wartofsy, otherwise one of Feuerbach's most charitable interpreters, would write over 340 pages devoted to assessing Feuerbach's development up to The Essence of Christianity but after two chapters conclude that the later works were vague, sketchy, and fragmentary. But Marx Wartofsky argued that although there is an interesting core to Feuerbach's argument that can be salvaged, the category of sensuousness is treated so loosely by him that it is inconsistent at the most crucial points. plato.stanford.edu /entries/ludwig-feuerbach   (13255 words)

And when he was sad, he was so terribly sad that we could see that there is even something funny in that, and so we laughed and forgot some of the things that made us sad.

The Postel Service: November 2003 Archives There was a period in the late 19th century when it was thought that this form of "cosmic idealism" might be the only way to salvage religion from the attacks coming from those who accepted Darwin's rather convincing theory. The book was widely read (apparently the young Marx was one of its readers), and the idea stuck. They both recommended Marcuse as a scholar of Hegel and Marx and as an unusual person in terms of his background (his association with the Frankfurt School) and his insights. www.postelservice.com /archives/2003_11.html   (5610 words)
