Communism vs. Hegelism

From the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, the revolution was the collective tongue tip of the world. The French monarchy is being overthrown, and there are political and civil war in Europe. Among all this confusion, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel appeared and showed the historical analysis of the future, the understanding of human condition, and the end of history. What is the estimate? Because the sole purpose of the state is to bring forward positive change and freedom to individuals, the end of history will come from the state.

Hegel was one of Kant's first major critics. In response to Kant's abstract and formal accounts he saw, Hegel proposed a moral concept focusing on the "moral life" of the community. But the concept of Hegel's "moral life" means to include Kant's ethics rather than to replace it. Hegel can be regarded as an attempt to protect Kant's concept of freed beyond reason and limited "desire". Therefore, compared to later critics such as Nietzsche and Russell, Hegel shared some of Kant's most fundamental concerns.

Background information on Hegel and Feuerbach (Averneri, pp. 8-27) Marx felt Kant was "opposite" and "should" and he was interested in Hegel's philosophy. Hegel's philosophy provides a way to eliminate this dichotomy. By "to achieve idealism in reality". Marx later discovered that this dichotomy still exists in Hegel's philosophy and is hidden in the internal contradiction of his social and political institutional theory. Feuerbach provided Margel a methodological way of criticizing Hegel, a way of change. Hegel believes that thinking is the subject, and that existence is a predicate. But Feuerbach wants to study this subject in space and time to develop materialist philosophy. His method of change is based on people, subject, and thinking.

Marx criticized Hegel's political philosophy to find the roots of Hegel's system. His argument about sovereignty (pages 18 to 19) is an example of his application of the modification method to criticize Hegel. Hegel believes the state is an abstracted entity from the social and historical forces that created it. He ignored the social background of interpersonal relations and streamlined the existing social organization. This is evident in discussions about Marx's ancient, medieval and contemporary politics (pages 21-23). Finally, Marx criticized Hegel's view that bureaucracy is "universal class". Marx believes that "the clear idealism of bureaucratic devotion to the overall well-being of society is only a cover for its own rough, materialistic purpose" (Averneri, p. 23) . "Democracy is the true unity of the general, special" (page 21). The current state of society is that individuals are no longer juxtaposed with society.
