Marxism Not a system of knowledge. A method of ______ social or historical happening. ∴ a prophetic teaching. Most powerful prophecy ____ Jesus - the evolution of a truth which this becomes active in history.

Since Jesus' revelation of nature of human life, there was _____, no other occasion on which formulation revolution [32] had such results in history.

But also a scientific method

(a) What it is?
(b) What are the results?

__ field in anthropology - a complete science of essential nature of man. Marx makes this {fundamental} to this method.(C° to collective part of theology - but we ____ regard it rather as philosophy - not biological anthropology.) Here reference is not to man, but to mankind - the genius - Like Jewish community, all human happening taken in refer______ mankind - this is the totality of reference ∴ is anti-individualistic (in Jewish community it was relation of community to God) Imp. form_____dy of his philosophic method.

_________ - K. totality. “Community” character of human individual. Only so could he use Hegelian method (turned upside down) - ie relation ___ of idea to real world other way round. But the real with which he started, must be a totality. (ie w. Marx mankind)

Man becomes fel. when society is such that man is free. Man here not just “an individual” of socialism is a condition of society in which man is free having overcome the community phase, it is society as whole which has [33] overcome - the individual couldn't do it (the dialectic process in the mind of a man is only in “pre-thought” - {what} is happening in history. Man is not a thinky {berny} alone - he is {pant} of the material world - & a unity in it. The material basis of society is given. Production must go on in any society. Actual form of this depends on actual mean of production. ∴ interest of society as a whole demands {apology} this thesis, best use of productive forces must be {seened}.

[…]

I Society consists of {molty} use but in relation ____ State institution __ are essential to Marx's “concept” of society.

[45]

[46] […]

1840 Doctor's Thesis. Here Marx accepts Hegel as the Aristotle of his day ∴ situation of philosophy was critical - it had comme w a finality. But what about the world? It is split, disrupted. Awful. A complete, perfect philosophy or a _____ incomplete world! […]

[50] He tried to answer these within “Hegel's Philosophy of the State”. This constituted a ___ step away from Hegel. One sentence has ___. […]

it was the totality of mankind, not “the State” (Tolstoy: the common life is the real life. Self-alienation is alienation from his brother, not from himself.) Here he touches Jesus

[51]

[52] On Hegel that which …

[53] […] ∴ went on study of political Economy

1844 Then wrote National Ökonomie v Philosophy …

Hegel represents attempt ____ process of self realization in mind, then term “thought” important 3 stages:
1) Simple conscience
2) Self - "
3) Reason

[54] This presented as process in which thought (or knowledge) realises itself as absolute thought or knowledge. Marx writes passage

Marx said this ___ must apply to man, became [55] his activities ______ actual objects, which cannot revert inW the actor when ______ (e.g. a table!) Hegel hadaccepted what human activity {lear} ____ alienation about him activity of thought. (this are {Jeed of idea of _____} in community.

Therefore criticism needs men to sing its own melody. Task = to show up the point of self-estrangement of man, thereby to point to the revolution […]: went to politic[al] Economy.

[…] tragic fact with the division of labour which _____ the starting point of {outer} interdependence?

Jesus could deny society because there has no such problem; Marx must conquer & transcend it. The interdependence caused by division of labour is a different, new peculiar or tragic kind but contains also the seeds of its non-resolution. This means that Marx was primarily dealing with the problem of society?

____ ______ would go back on [58] division of labour; the Spanish anarchists would reduce the ______.

Hence the special role of the proletariat who in fact suffer the result of self-estrangement, to bear __ themselves the of its resolution.

Marx never thought that the {prosperity} solution was a sufficient solution of the human problem.

Dialectical Materialism
Engels - Handbook of Marxism

Dialectic regarded as formal happening altogether (is a subj.-obj. happening)
1) change of quantity into quality as a dialectical process
2) Interpenetration of opposites: mutually antagonistic forces …so the Russian today {sepoint} it
3) Relationship of theory (&) practice - not to be regarded as separate, but inter-related. Practice being the {corporation} of theory. Theory {it/if} widely spread {her} practical effects. in practice of masses of people.
(See Anti-Dühring.)

[59] Dialectical opposite are rightly […]

(Engels was far from materialist outlook. Would never have said […]


[60] usual friend position called it a 'fonction of the brain' - man being regarded as a machine […] mental phenomenon parallel to it.

See again Handbook p. 224 Handbook.

Not […] Engels says … […] Hegel went so far as to say that the … … of the dialectic of the mind. Hegel's scope Engels thought, was justified, but the relation of concept to nature injustified.

{We/He} would {say} Engels also injustified - why apply.

But the Russian ___ […] the quality of mind”? […] Mind is distinct but not separate.

[61] There is no separate existence, they say of mind from matter; consciousness comes through the changing organization. It is something new emerging - consciousness is not the development of something {talent} or potential, but something brought to birth newly. How relate dialectical law to matter - is the question they ask {or so} answer. We {say} question you cannot relate dialectical laws to nature matter as such - one look at the 3 points - of dialectic mentioned at the beginning - You don't need dialectics to describe, e.g. the growth of a plant - Engels thought Hegel how discovered the law underlying the change which happens in the growth - of a plant and modern science. Dealing with _____ of processes, wouldn't need terms of “quality”, only “quantity”, thereof also here dialectics not needed - because science deals not with essences, but with simple descriptions.
