Marx’s view of philosophy

Marx’s view of philosophy

            Marx’s view of philosophy mainly focuses on the interpretation of materialism that is responsible for interpreting the historical development as well as the social development of a people’s class relationship and conflict. It is, therefore, mainly concerned by the struggle between the capitalists as well as the working class.

Marx examined the effect that capitalism has on various aspects of human life, such as labor, productivity as well as economic development. In his view of these factors, Marx suggested that for a revolution of workers was to be created to turn over capitalism in favor of communism. Marx also had the view that the relationship of power that existed between the capitalist and the workers was inherently exploitative and would unavoidably lead to the creation of conflicts between various classes.

Marx also had a philosophical view that the existing conflict between the social classes, mostly the capitalists and the proletariat as well as the workers, had economic relations in the economy of the capitalist, thus would lead to the rise of revolutionary communism. In his view, this struggle would eventually lead to a revolution whereby the working population would bring down the capitalist community and further confiscate control of the economy.

Marx’s main view was that the system of the capitalist was much responsible for their destruction. This is because alienating and exploiting the proletariat that was vital to the capitalists’ relations would drive the working class to rebel against the bourgeoisie and seize their operations. The revolution would be led by leaders who were enlightened and understood the issues of class structure in society. The leaders would thus create awareness as well as consciousness based on class.

The prediction Marx had in his view of philosophy was that the private ownership of the means of production world is replaced by communal property managed by the socialist class.
