Society & Culture:Philosophy
Now we see how the Hegel-method used by Marx can be applied to our society today.
Marx used Hegel’s model of thesis, antithesis, synthesis of contradictions in thought to a resolution; a new, single thought that escapes the contradictions in the thesis and antithesis. We used the example of free verses control. An obvious contradiction. To be free is not to be controlled. To be controlled is not to be free. How do we resolve this? To a single new thought? Reason is the answer.
Marx takes this to ground, to physical reality, and asks: What about society and it’s contradictions of wealth, power of capital? We have poor, we have rich, we shall see what Marx does with these!
