Economic and Philosophical
Manuscripts Research Paper
As mentioned in class 2/22, we will talk about Karl
Marx and his view when we return from Spring Break.
Marx is
considered one of the most influential thinkers who ever lived.
He was
influenced by Hegel's view but might be thought of as putting Hegel on his head
(upside down).
Start by watching this very brief video about Marxism. It does not get at the issue of freedom,
but it does give us some background against which we can make sense of Marx's
view of freedom.

Another video,
which is a bit more complete, but also more helpful in understanding Marx and
Marxism, is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P97r9Ci5Kg
READ, the
entry on Marx in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy--especially the intro
and section two: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/marx/
READ, the
excerpt from Marx's work, Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (it is
attached to this post and available on the D&H page). Besides the general
view and argument, pay particular attention to how or where any sorts of
freedom are involved in the view.
Do not
forget that you also have (from the week we talked about Hegel) a short essay
on Hegel and Marx.
