Karl Marx | Sculpture / Bust | Philosopher | gift, bookshelf, desk, office
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist, and political theorist whose figure and philosophy had a profound and lasting influence on political and economic thought. He is best known as the co-author of the "Communist Manifesto" and for developing the theory of historical materialism and scientific socialism, which formed the foundation of Marxist thought. Marx believed that society was primarily shaped by production relations and the class struggle between the working class (proletariat) and the ownership class of the means of production (bourgeoisie). He viewed capitalism as an inherently unjust system in which workers were exploited, receiving only a fraction of the value they produced, while the owners of the means of production amassed disproportionate wealth. His philosophy proposed the necessity of a proletarian revolution to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a classless society, in which the means of production would be collectively controlled by the proletariat, aiming for equality and social justice.
Marx also developed the theory of historical materialism, which argued that changes in society were primarily driven by changes in productive forces and production relations. He saw human history as a series of economic stages, culminating in the inevitable transition from capitalism to socialism and eventually to communism. Marx's philosophy emphasized the importance of critical analysis of social and economic structures, as well as collective action by workers to transform society. While generating a diverse range of interpretations and criticisms over time, Marx's ideas continue to influence debates on inequality, economic exploitation, and class issues worldwide.
