Ernst Bloch

On Karl Marx (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study of Marx serves not only as an excellent introduction to that most influential of "worldly philosophers" but is also a significant resume of the central issues of Bloch's own profound and wide-ranging thought.

Special attention is given to the political maturation of the young Karl Marx and to his studies and intellectual relationship to important thinkers of his time. Bloch concludes with an insightful summons to the West to consider Marx anew as a thinker still vitally relevant to contemporary social issues, and not merely as the father of a sovietized political system.

Autorenporträt

A close associate of Brecht, Luk¿cs, Benjamin, and Adorno (and exercising a formative influence on their work), Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) is perhaps one of the most influential scholars of Marxism. The Nazis' rise to power forced him to flee his native Germany in the thirties. Since his death, his works, such as The Principle of Hope and Atheism in Christianity, have continued to inspire engagement with the Marxist tradition.
