Produktbeschreibung
The reflections contained in this book are at the crossroads of the historical existential moments of a person, its author, and the dialectical destination of phenomenological depth of the Congolese politico-economic space. This book exposes the intellectual roots that have influenced my curriculum. They help the reader to better situate the epistemological gaze from which these analyzes, sometimes scathing, spring out of my home country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and abroad.My intellectual roots are to be located in the humanistic training I received from home to the universities I attended, and the Jesuit formation houses I went through.Karl Marx put the right words in the organization of my thinking. Indeed, he defines communism as the real movement in history that combats capitalism (Marx and Engels, Ideology Allemande, 1932). What is really happening in front of our eyes. We are neither in paradise, nor a thousand miles under the oceans, but we are in a history dominated by capitalism. Capitalism is a mode of production in which the owner of the means of production takes a portion of the value produced by the worker.
