Marx and the Two Enlightenments

Marx and the two revelations: rational assertions are controversial by two conflicting revelations that conflict with each other in the debate between Plato, Socrates, and wise people, but Marx is critically united. He criticized that the capitalist system is essentially limiting production and that the market is not free (not equal). However, Marx is most concerned about ontology unfairness and alienation of people into goods. However, he retained the value of Prometheus Enlightenment: technology, creativity, democracy, it should be economic, participatory and international.

Although I have to keep in mind that the problem raised in this paper is just one example of the tradition of the 18th century in Marx's thought, it turns out that Marx benefited greatly from the philosophy of enlightenment. In a sense, Marx is indeed "a child of enlightenment." He developed this tradition in a variety of ways, sometimes directly, sometimes more and more ideas developed, sometimes even criticizing and denying the 18th century. I thought. However, this heritage seems somewhat natural as we can not abandon history, and it has always been influenced by previous words. What we have to remember is that the tradition of the 18th century did not exhaust Marx's idea, but enriched it and integrated it into a historical context.

In the next two centuries the Enlightenment is still a source of debate. First, in the 19th century, globalization of the economy caused a violent reaction. Marx and Engels regard cosmopolitanism as a capitalist ideology. They believe that the fact that market capitalism has an inherent expansion, crosses the boundary of the nation's state system, and the fact that production and consumption adapt to distant land is proving this I will. In their hands, the term "cosmopolitanism" is related to the influence of capitalist globalization, especially including bourgeois ideology. Justly capitalist order is the suffering of millions of people, and it certainly is the cause of the survival of proletariat.

Karl Heinrich Marx was born in Trier, Germany on May 5, 1818 and is a comfortable middle-class Jewish family. His father, lawyers, and enthusiastic supporters of enlightenment liberalism converted to Lutheranism when Marx was a boy to save families from the discrimination that Prussian Jews at the time received. Under his father's guidance Marx enjoyed a wide range of secular education and found a knowledge instructor at Prussian aristocrat Fletcher Ludwig von Westfalen. It is worth noting that literary and philosophical person Westphalen introduced young Marx to the idea of ​​early French socialist Saint Simon.
