Karl Marx the Philosopher

“Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.”

Karl Marx

           Is a difficult theorist to write about. A good deal of the problem is that he has become a major figure in history. As such, he has inspired social movements and individual revolutionaries--some of whom have been faithful to his work, while many more have misused his name and writings. In the not too distant past, the professor teaching Marx had to deal with the cold war and anti-Communist attitudes that students would bring to class. Not only would these students have many misconceptions of Marx's thought and theory--equating it with the Communist Parties of the old Soviet Union and other totalitarian societies-- many would be actively hostile to learning anything about it. Since the end of the cold war, students are usually not active anti-Communists but they still tend to equate Marx with Communism, thus assuming that his thought has been thoroughly rejected and relegated to the dustbin of history. In this essay I do not want to deal with the issue of historical Communism. 

            Marx died well before the revolution in Russia. While he inspired many of the revolutionaries, he bears little of the responsibility for the totalitarian regime that emerged (to explain the Soviet government, look to the Czarist regimes). Marx is not Stalin.He was was born in Trier, in the German Rhineland, in 1818. Although his family was Jewish they converted to Christianity so that his father could pursue his career as a lawyer in the face of Prussia’s anti-Jewish laws. A precious schoolchild, Marx studied law in Bonn and Berlin, and then wrote a PhD thesis in Philosophy, comparing the views of Democritus and Epicurus. On completion of his doctorate in 1841 Marx hoped for an academic job, but he had already fallen in with too radical a group of thinkers and there was no real prospect. Turning to journalism, Marx rapidly became involved in political and social issues, and soon found himself having to consider communist theory. Of his many early writings, four, in particular, stand out. ‘Contribution to a Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Introduction’, and ‘On The Jewish Question’, were both written in 1843 and published in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher. The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, written in Paris 1844, and the ‘Theses on Feuerbach’ of 1845, remained unpublished in Marx’s lifetime.

          About the philosophy of Karl Marx “Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form” it means that there have always been reasons to everything, but the reasons need to be in a presentable form. That means reason to everything maybe weird or unbelievable or unprovable, and thus inpresentable to the world, but that doesn’t mean is absent it only means reason is too unpresentable nd unreasonable.

          Philosophy of karl marx is very interesting because this line is so very penetarting in my heart. Base on my own opinion it says here not at all times the cause or the reason always exist. Because other reason are more on lies, and hard to believe. So not all the reason are in a right way. That is tha meaning of philosphy "REASON HAS ALWAYS EXISTED, BUT NOT ALWAYS IN A REASONABLE FORM". 

          And for my opinion about karl marx is nothing beacuse i can only to say to him is You're so good and i have nothing to suggest. My only opinion is why everyone? even if they know that they are wrong, They still make the reason right even if is not in a proper form?.
