Karl Marx- Historical Materialism
  1. 1. Origins & Influences.
    1. 1818-1883, German, Jewish, m.class.
      1. Influence of philosophical idealism, economic utilitarianism and social utopianism.
      2. 2. Rejecting Liberal Form.
        1. Rejected the idea that liberal form, gradual emancipation would be enough to redder the 'social crisis'. The bourgeois would claim political and social rights and extend them to the rest of society- this is a mistake.
          1. the real material foundation of such rights lays with owner of property as the bourgeois depend on posesion of property.
          2. 3. Differences with Hegel.
            1. 1. Marx was more practical and empirical than Hegel. For Marx, Hegels discussion of 'spirit' as the force driving history was abstract and mythical.
              1. 2. For Marx, the state springs of society. Its not ideas that determine the material world but rather the material world shaping ideas.
                1. 3. Ideas cannot be understood in isolation but rather in direct relation to the social context.
                2. 4. Similarities with Hegel.
                  1. 1. Both saw human history based on conflict. History shows civilisation has been progressively coerced into human labour driven by greed.
                    1. 2. Work becomes inhuman and contradicts nature. Capitalists drain away productive life.
                    2. 5. Do we need Capitalism?
                      1. Yes! its a 'creative destruction. its a force which will provoke a new epoch of social change. In the modern world, old ways of life, beliefs, social relations dissolve under the pressures of material transformation .e.g. rise of technology/medical help - or gods will? Industrialisation enlightened individuals.
                      2. 6. Materiality & Historicity.
                        1. a) Physical organisation & Physical needs. Physical organisation of individuals is done in relation to nature. Distinguish to humans- men distinguish themselves to animals as soon as they begin to produce their means of subsistence. By doing so, men are indirect in producing their actual material life. What humans are coincides with their production, both with wha they produce and how they produce it.
                          1. Nature of individuals depends on the material conditioning determining their production.
                          2. b) Development of human needs. Satisfaction of the first needs leads to new needs and this production of new needs is the first historical act.
                            1. c) The Family - men who daily remake their own life begin to make other men to propagate their kind: shapes, men, women, parents etc.
                              1. d) Human life as both natural and social relationship. Production of life- double relationship. It's natural and social.
                              2. 7. Being & Consciousness
                                1. Production of ideas, conceptions, consciousness is DIRECTLY interwoven with material activity. Consciousness is determined by life- it is a social by product.
                                2. 8. Society & Class
                                  1. 1. In every stratified society, there is class structure. Class structure changes due to class interest. Members of class interest have class ideology and class domination. Some classes are more powerful than others. e.g. Bourgeoisie are dominant.
                                    1. 2. Class Antagonism - interest of two classes cannot be reconciled. They are in direct conflict- only solution is to have a classless society. There will always be a class struggle. A class itself should become a class initself = Communism.
                                    2. 9. Alienation
                                      1. 1. Alienation is an experience of isolation. Alienated labour is not the satisfaction of a need but a means to satisfy needs. Sense of alienation- alienated when you are doing something for other needs e.g. money. Most people in capitalist society are alienated
                                        1. a) Alienation from the product - alienated from the product because its owned by the capitalist. Relationship of the worker to the product of his labour as an alien object that has power over him.
                                          1. b) Alienation from other producers - alienation from man from man. When man is opposed to himself, its another man opposed to him.
                                            1. c) Alienation from the producing process - he's at home when not working and not home when he's working. Relationship of the worker to his own activity as something that is alien and does not belong to him.
                                            2. 10. Society & Development
                                              1. Base & Superstructure - economic infrastructure shapes the superstructure. The superstructure is used to maintain and legitimate the base e.g. Religion -'opium of the people' accepting your position - distort.
