A World Without Jews

A World Without Jews
A World Without Jews by Karl Marx speaks about religious prejudice specifically against Jews. It begs to question can the world survive without this prejudice and how Jews beg for political emancipation? Karl Marx (1818-1883) is best known not as a philosopher but as a revolutionary communist, whose works inspired the foundation of many communist regimes in the twentieth century. It is hard to think of many who have had as much influence in the creation of the modern world. Trained as a philosopher, Marx turned away from philosophy in his mid-twenties, towards economics and politics. However, in addition to his overtly philosophical early work, his later writings have many points of contact with contemporary philosophical debates, especially in the philosophy of history and the social sciences, and in moral and political philosophy. Historical materialism -- Marx's theory of history -- is centered around the idea that forms of society rise and fall as they further and then impede the development of human productive power. Marx sees the historical process as proceeding through a necessary series of modes of production, culminating in communism. Marx's economic analysis of capitalism is based on his version of the labour theory of value, and includes the analysis of capitalist profit as the extraction of surplus value from the exploited proletariat. The analysis of history and economics come together in Marx's prediction of the inevitable economic breakdown of capitalism, to be replaced by communism. However Marx refused to speculate in detail about the nature of communism, arguing that it would arise through historical processes, and was not the realisation of a pre-determined moral ideal.

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon
This book about Napoleon Bonaparte's coup d'etat of 1851 in France allows Marx to explain why he thinks the earlier French Revolution of 1848, gave Napoleon the wings to achieve his triumph. This event, which occurred on 8th-9th November 1851, is often regarded as the end of the Revolution and the one that allowed Napoleon to establish his power over France. Karl Marx gives his particular views on this event and on Napoleon.

The Manifesto of the Communist Party
Complete English Translation - The Manifesto of the Communist Party - Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels From the English edition of 1888, edited by Friedrich Engels The Communist Manifesto (Das Kommunistische Manifest), originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is a short 1848 publication written by the political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms. The book contains Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then eventually communism.

A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy

Das Kapital

release date: Mar 02, 2011
Das Kapital
Das Kapital, Karl Marx's seminal work, is the book that above all others formed the twentieth century. From Kapital sprung the economic and political systems that at one time dominated half the earth and for nearly a century kept the world on the brink of war. Even today, more than one billion Chinese citizens live under a regime that proclaims fealty to Marxist ideology. Yet this important tome has been passed over by many readers frustrated by Marx's difficult style and his preoccupation with nineteenth-century events of little relevance to today's reader. Here Serge Levitsky presents a revised version of Kapital, abridged to emphasize the political and philosophical core of Marx's work while trimming away much that is now unimportant. Pointing out Marx's many erroneous predictions about the development of capitalism, Levitsky's introduction nevertheless argues for Kapital's relevance as a prime example of a philosophy of economic determinism that "subordinates the problems of human freedom and human dignity to the issues of who should own the means of production and how wealth should be distributed." Here then is a fresh and highly readable version of a work whose ideas provided inspiration for communist regimes' ideological war against capitalism, a struggle that helped to shape the world today.

Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy Of Right'

Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy Of Right'
This book is a complete translation of Marx's critical commentary on paragraphs 261-313 of Hegel's major work in political theory. In this text Marx subjects Hegel's doctrine on the internal constitution of the state to a lengthy analysis. It was Marx's first attempt to expose and criticize Hegel's philosophy in general and his political philosophy in particular. It also represents his early efforts to criticize existing political institutions and to clarify the relations between the political and economic aspects of society. The Critique provides textual evidence in support of the argument that Marx's early writings do not exhibit radically different doctrinal principles and theoretical and practical concerns from his later work. This edition also includes a translation of the introduction Marx wrote for his proposed revised version of the Critique which he never completed. In a substantial introduction, Professor O'Malley provides valuable information on Marx's intellectual development.

Capital: Volume One

Capital: Volume One
Capital: Volume One by Karl Marx is a classic of political economics and was described by Friedrich Engels, the author's friend and collaborator, as "the bible of the working class." Thirty years in the making, this 1867 publication was the first in the three-part Das Kapital series and the only volume published during Marx's lifetime. The polemic asserts that society is advancing from primitive economic systems toward the utopian state of communism. It remains a work of tremendous importance and influence and offers an astute critique of capitalism, exploring commodities, value, money, and other factors related to the system's historic origins and contemporary functions. The examination of these elements forms the basis of Marxist doctrine: the system is irredeemable, a revolution is imperative, and a socialist system is the only viable alternative, providing a structure in which production serves the needs of all rather than the enrichment of the elite. AUTHOR: Philosopher and radical thinker Karl Marx (1818-74) was expelled from Germany and France after publishing controversial material, including The Communist Manifesto, which he co-wrote with Friedrich Engels. In 1848, he was exiled to London, where he wrote Das Kapital and resided for the remainder of his life.

B ▶ 마르크스하면 떠오르는 수많은 어록이 이 책을 통해 탄생하였으며, 특히 머리글과 마지막 문장이 유명합니다. ▶ Die Geschichte aller bisherigen Gesellschaft ist die Geschichte von Klassenkämpfen. The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles. ▷ 모든 사회의 역사는 계급 투쟁의 역사이다. ▶ Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. ▷ 어떠한 이유로도 무기와 탄약을 포기해서는 안 됩니다. 필요한 경우 무력으로 노동자를 무장해제하려는 어떠한 시도도 좌절되어야 합니다. ▶ 영혼의 단짝 칼 마르크스(Karl Marx)와 프리드리히 엥겔스(Friedrich Engels) : 엥겔스는 섬유공장을 운영하는 부유한 아버지(an owner of large textile factories)를 두어 재정적으로 풍족했기에, 마르크스가 불규칙적인 인세로 생활하는 동안 물심양면으로 지원하였습니다. 엥겔스는 서신으로 왕래하던 칼 마르크스를 1844년 프랑스 파리에서 처음으로 만났으며, 죽음이 서로를 갈라놓을 때까지 공산주의자이자 지적 동반자, 그리고 재정적 후원자로써 행보를 함께 하였습니다. 두 사람은 신성가족(Die heilige Familie, 1845)을 시작으로 미국 내전에 대하여(The Civil War in the United States, 1861)까지 네 작품을 함께 집필하였으며, 가장 유명한 것은 역시 공산당 선언(The Communist Manifesto, 1848)입니다. 마르크스가 그의 대표작 자본론(資本論, Capital, 1867)을 완성하지 못한 채 1883년 사망하자, 이에 엥겔스가 유고를 모아 편집하는 과정을 거쳐 1885년 제2권, 1894년 제3권을 출간함으로써 완결한 것은 매우 유명한 일화로 아마도 ‘인류 역사상 가장 유명한 공저’가 아닐까 싶습니다. ▶ PREFACE. The "Manifesto" was published as the platform of the "Communist League," a workingmen's association, first exclusively German, later on international, and, under the political conditions of the Continent before 1848, unavoidably a secret society. At a Congress of the League, held in London in November, 1847, Marx and Engels were commissioned to prepare for publication a complete theoretical and practical party programme. ▷ 머리말. "공산주의 선언"은 "공산주의 연맹(Communist League)"의 강령으로 출판되었습니다. 노동자 협회는 처음에는 독점적으로 독일인이었고 나중에는 국제적으로 1848년 이전 유럽 대륙의 정치적 상황에서는 불가피하게 비밀 결사였습니다. 1847년 11월 런던에서 열린 연맹 대회에서 마르크스와 엥겔스는 완전한 이론 및 실제 당 강령의 출판을 준비하라는 위임을 받았습니다. ▶ The defeat of the Parisian insurrection of June, 1848—the first great battle between Proletariat and Bourgeoisie—drove again into the background, for a time, the social and political aspirations of the European working class. Thenceforth, the struggle for supremacy was again, as it had been before the revolution of February, solely between the different sections of the propertied class; the working class was reduced to a fight for political elbow-room, and to the position of extreme wing of the Middle-class Radicals. ▷ 프롤레타리아트와 부르주아지 사이의 첫 번째 대전투인 1848년 6월 파리 봉기의 패배는 한동안 유럽 노동계급의 사회적, 정치적 열망을 다시금 배경으로 내몰았습니다. 그 이후로 패권을 위한 투쟁은 다시 2월 혁명 이전과 마찬가지로 유산계급의 서로 다른 분파들 사이에서만 벌어졌습니다. 노동계급은 정치적 자유를 위한 투쟁으로 전락했고 중산층 급진파의 극단적인 위치로 전락했습니다. ▶ When the European working class had recovered sufficient strength for another attack on the ruling classes, the International Workingmen's Association sprang up. But this association, formed with the express aim of welding into one body the whole militant proletariat of Europe and America, could not at once proclaim the principles laid down in the "Manifesto." ▷ 유럽 노동계급이 지배계급에 대한 또 다른 공격을 위해 충분한 힘을 회복했을 때, 국제노동자협회(International Workmen's Association)가 생겨났습니다. 그러나 유럽과 아메리카의 모든 전투적 프롤레타리아트를 하나의 몸으로 결집시키려는 명백한 목적으로 형성된 이 협회는 "공산주의 선언"에 규정된 원칙을 즉시 선포할 수 없었습니다. ▶ And Marx was right. The International, on its breaking up in 1874, left the workers quite different men from what it had found them in 1864. Proudhonism in France, Lassalleanism in Germany, were dying out, and even the conservative English Trades' Unions, though most of them had long since severed their connection with the International, were gradually advancing towards that point at which, last year at Swansea, their President could say in their name, "Continental Socialism has lost its terrors for us." In fact, the principles of the "Manifesto" had made considerable headway among the workingmen of all countries. ▷ 그리고 마르크스가 옳았습니다. 인터내셔널은 1874년에 해체되면서 노동자들을 1864년에 발견했던 것과는 완전히 다른 인간으로 만들었습니다. 인터내셔널과의 연결이 끊어진 지 오래되었고, 작년 스완지에서 그들의 대통령이 그들의 이름으로 "대륙 사회주의는 우리에게 공포를 잃었습니다."라고 말할 수 있는 지점을 향해 점진적으로 전진하고 있었습니다. 사실 "공산주의 선언"의 원칙은 모든 나라의 노동자들 사이에서 상당한 진전을 이루었습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 13가지 키워드로 읽는 칼 마르크스(Karl Marx, 1818~1883)와 프리드리히 엥겔스(Friedrich Engels, 1820~1895) 01. 마르크스주의(Marxism)의 원류, 카를 하인리히 마르크스(Karl Heinrich Marx, 1818~1883) 02.

The Communist Manifesto (Illustated and Annotated)

The Communist Manifesto (Illustated and Annotated)
In 1847, a group of radical workers called the "Communist League" met in London. They commissioned Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who had recently become members, to write a manifesto on their behalf, soon known as the Communist Manifesto. Marx was the principle author, with Engels editing and assisting. The Communist Manifesto was originally published in London in 1848. Of all the documents of modern socialism, it is the most widely read and the most influential. It is the systematic statement of the philosophy that has come to be known as Marxism.Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist and sociologist, as well as a political revolutionary. He met Engels (1820-1895) when he moved to Paris after 1843, and they worked together on several essays. Marx and Engels are best known for their revolutionary writings about Communism. One of Marx's primary intellectual influences was the work of G.W.F. Hegel. Hegel's theory presents history as a process in which the world becomes conscious of itself as spirit. Marx took this idea and furthered it, arguing that as man becomes conscious of himself as spirit, the material world causes him to feel increasingly alienated from himself. Escape from this alienation requires a revolution.Marx and Engels were not simply content with theorizing about revolution in the abstract, however. They thought that theory was only useful insofar as it promotes social change, clarifying the proper means and ends of revolution; they were thus not only authors, but activists, and believed that by theorizing they were actively influencing history. The Communist Manifesto can be understood as one attempt to influence history by spreading information about the communist movement.Marx's theory should be understood in the context of the hardships suffered by 19th-century workers in England, France and Germany. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries created a seemingly permanent underclass of workers, many of whom lived in poverty under terrible working conditions and with little political representation. The Communist Manifesto was written on the eve of the Revolution of 1848 in Germany. The failure of this worker and student-led revolution caused Marx to later revise some of the arguments and predictions that appear in the Communist Manifesto. However, the general structure of Marx's original arguments, as well as its revolutionary tone, remained unchanged.SummaryContextTerms

The Communist Manifesto contains Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then finally Communism. "A room without books is like a body without a soul." - ... A 19th century classics literature edition.
