Theses on Feuerbach

The Theses on Feuerbach by Karl Marx put next to the co-authored with Friedrich Engels, The German Ideology (1845 ) the first formulation of his materialist conception of history dar.

The theses are delivered in two versions:

  • The original text of the statement wrote Marx to Engels " in the spring of 1845 ," in any case not later than the beginning of June 1845 in Brussels. He is in his notebook, 1844-1847, under the heading "1 ad Feuerbach " included.
  • The theses were published posthumously in 1888 by Friedrich Engels, who edited and editorial under the heading " Marx on Feuerbach " an issue of his own magazine " Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy " were annexed as an appendix.

Marx criticized Feuerbach based on the Hegelian dialectic. In his eleventh thesis "Philosophers have interpretirt the world, in various ways, the point is to change it to " he summarizes his main objections to Feuerbach together. Feuerbach remains with a look at materialism and can not therefore be understood as material reality, the obligations of the actions of men the society.

Marx emphasizes the dialectical tension between the individual and society. The individual can be understood only as materialistic ensemble of social relations. The social relations themselves are in turn a result of the actions of human individuals. As a way which overcomes the intuitive reproduction of bourgeois society and leads to human society or social humanity, remains only a revolutionary process.
