Born in Trier (West Prussia: the oldest city in Germany), just 16 km from the border with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in a family of upper middle class . His father was a lawyer, and went to college to study law, but the living discussions on Hegelian philosophy in Berlin, 1834 (identified with the Young Hegelians eager to transform the Hegelian orthodoxy in a radical social doctrine) ... you took a doctorate in Philosophy with 23years.
In Marx's life mingled removal of philosopher / thinker / intellectual with the active life of the organizer, and revolutionary propagandist ....
Forced by the death of his father to make a living began working as a newspaper anti (in Cologne) where his biting prose allowed to act as an agitator for political reform. Director arrived, but in 1843 the official censorship banned the publication and Marx had to leave for Paris to ride another day.
There immersed himself in reading and study Economic Theory (David Ricardo ...), met Engels ( his mentor and friend) and most of the leaders of the continental left. was expelled from France in 1845 and took refuge in Brussels, at last, after a short stay in Cologne to support radical tendencies present in the German Revolution of 1848 , happened to lead a stable life in London , where he developed since 1849 most of his writings. spent all hours of sunlight in the reading rooms of the British Museum.
His dedication to the cause of socialism made him suffer great material difficulties. There will be few students of the problems social conditions have worked harder than those incurred by Marx. What little he earned with his newspaper articles (other than financial aid Engels) did not allow his family to provide medical care and adequate nutrition.
When Marx wrote about poverty, it was an exercise in imagination.
is important to retain the concepts alienation and dialectics taken from Hegel and Marx ... reinterpreted. alienation, which for Hegel is in the world of the idea (of nature theological) to Karl Marx regards exploitation of man by man , the loss of autonomy and freedom of social class as a result of the exploitation to which other class subjects , mainly the fact that there private ownership of the means of production .
The dialectic moves from a negation, double negation and confrontation of ideas in Hegel's revolution and class struggle with Marx.
In 1848, at the request of a league made up of emissions underground revolutionary German immigrants, Marx wrote in just four days the Communist Manifesto a pamphlet of inflammatory rhetoric placed in the context of the European revolutions of that year 1848. Marx (with the collaboration of Engels) made a systematic critique of quo and defended force the Revolution (not the peaceful conviction or gradual reform) as how to end the bourgeois civilization.
Marx had more time to devote to "The Capital", he began writing in 1847 and ended (in part) with a first volume in 1867 ... Twenty years
