In general, the entire Marxist philosophy can be divided into two parts.In the first part of all that is connected with dialectical materialism, the second - all that is connected with the historical materialism.
materialist conception of history - Engels and Marx innovation.Its essence is as follows:
- at various stages of development of society people have to interact with each other - just so they can properly provide for their livelihoods.These relationships are productive.They are objective and do not depend on the willingness of their constituents.
- economic system formed just on the basis of industrial relations.In itself it is a definite basis on which to build a different kind of social relations and institutions of the state.
- Institutes mentioned above, are the kind of add-economic basis.
- Superstructure and interrelated basis.On the basis of them can distinguish various types of socio-economic formations.
- The course of history is determined by the material production, the level of the economy, industrial relations.
means of production, according to Marx - is what allows you to produce a new product with the help of the labor force.As a rule, they are alienated from the wage-workers, that is concentrated in the hands of owners.It's about the fact that the majority of people for survival should allow to exploit itself.
produced goods more expensive expended means of production and hired labor.The difference is called surplus value.Part of it is the capitalists take themselves, and often sends for a new surplus value.
Hegel's dialectics - the basis of dialectical materialism.Marx and Engels took some of the ideas of the great philosopher and presented them differently.
in dialectical philosophy says that consciousness is determined by the existence, matter is constantly evolving and changing, based on the laws of dialectics is, God does not exist, but the most important factor of development - practice.
