Karl MarxCollected Works (12+ illustrated edition) of Karl Marx: Capital, The Communist Manifesto,Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Karl Heinrich Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. It is hard to think of many who have had as much influence in the creation of the modern world. In addition to his overtly philosophical early work, his later writings have many points of contact with contemporary philosophical debates, especially in the philosophy of history and the social sciences, and in moral and political philosophy. Historical materialism — Marx’s theory of history — is centered around the idea that forms of society rise and fall as they further and then impede the development of human productive power. Marx’s economic analysis of capitalism is based on his version of the labour theory of value, and includes the analysis of capitalist profit as the extraction of surplus value from the exploited proletariat. Marx sees the historical process as proceeding through a necessary series of modes of production, characterized by class struggle, culminating in communism.ContentCritique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, 1843On the Jewish Question, 1843The Holy Family, 1845Theses on Feuerbach, 1845The Poverty of Philosophy, 1847Wage Labour and Capital, 1847Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1848The Class Struggles in France, 1850Address of the Central Committee to the Communist LeagueThe Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, 1852A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, 1859Marx’s Inaugural AddressCapital
