关于马克思的一些思考
引子
忙于学业之余,这段时间的放松方式就是看美剧,刷微博。自己觉得实在是很没有成就感,也耽误了自己学习的进度。
所以,我决定做一些思维输出,促进动脑,保持一个较兴奋的精神状态。
那就……看看纪录片培养一下自己的逻辑思维和文化眼界吧。
正文
Karl Marx(5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Born in Prussia to a middle-class family, he later studied political economy and Hegelian philosophy. As an adult, Marx became stateless and spent much of his life in London, England, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and published various works, the most well-known being the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto. His work has since influenced subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history.
都说BBC对于中国批评声音较多,存在西方偏见。这个问题我在看一些BBC关于政治的报道中确实有所发现,这个各国都是为了维护自己的意识形态而说的,没什么绝对的对错。难听的撇撇嘴,新观点其实很少,在这个上面花费精力其实不值得。
但是跟着听了,起码一些资料做不得假,当作趣事见闻来增长眼界还是有一定意义的。
人物背景
马克思出生不错,是个普鲁士中产阶级家庭,童年过得无忧无虑。当时普鲁士政治局势比较紧张,为了生计,他父亲作为犹太人被迫皈依基督教,这无疑是某种种族压迫,另外当时受法国革命的影响个人与自由平等原则的影响,这激发了马克思的某种对于普鲁士当权派的不满,为后来他争取民主自由埋下了伏笔。
成就作品
其他成就的介绍
Marx's theories about society, economics and politics—collectively understood as Marxism—hold that human societies develop through class struggle: a conflict between ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production and working classes (known as the proletariat) that work on these means by selling their labour for wages. Through his theories of alienation, value, commodity fetishism, and surplus value, Marx argued that capitalism facilitated social relations and ideology through commodification, inequality, and the exploitation of labour. Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx propounded the theory of base and superstructure, asserting that the cultural and political conditions of society, as well as its notions of human nature, are largely determined by obscured economic foundations. These economic critiques would result in influential works such as Capital, Volume I (1867).
风流轶事
Marx and von Westphalen had seven children together, but partly owing to the poor conditions in which they lived whilst in London, only three survived to adulthood.[184] The children were: Jenny Caroline (m. Longuet; 1844–1883); Jenny Laura (m. Lafargue; 1845–1911); Edgar (1847–1855); Henry Edward Guy ("Guido"; 1849–1850); Jenny Eveline Frances ("Franziska"; 1851–1852); Jenny Julia Eleanor (1855–1898) and one more who died before being named (July 1857). There are allegations that Marx also fathered a son, Freddy,[185] out of wedlock by his housekeeper, Helene Demuth.
Marx frequently used pseudonyms, often when renting a house or flat, apparently to make it harder for the authorities to track him down. While in Paris, he used that of "Monsieur Ramboz", whilst in London he signed off his letters as "A. Williams". His friends referred to him as "Moor", owing to his dark complexion and black curly hair, while he encouraged his children to call him "Old Nick" and "Charley".[187] He also bestowed nicknames and pseudonyms on his friends and family as well, referring to Friedrich Engels as "General", his housekeeper Helene as "Lenchen" or "Nym", while one of his daughters, Jennychen, was referred to as "Qui Qui, Emperor of China" and another, Laura, was known as "Kakadou" or "the Hottentot".
小结
马克思的成就在于他的思想颠覆了人们对于资本机制、社会基础和人的本质的思考,他被认为三个从思想上改变世界的人之首。(另外两个是尼采和佛洛依德)
他的成就在世时并未被引起重视,对于思想表述的方式(出了几本普通人没兴趣翻动的严肃书籍)是原因之一,另外也是时局未到(1917年十月革命)?
另外从马克思的成长经历和个人生活,我们可以看出,马克思毫无疑问也是一位普通人,也受制于人性的缺陷和时局的影响。
