5 Big Themes in Marx Dialectical Materialism Parsimony / reductionism Base / Superstructure Conflict / Consent The Theory of History Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
6 Dialectical Materialism Marx s theory of historical progression Dialectics: Progression through antagonistic opposition Materialism: Progression through real interests Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
7 Materialism Social life is essentially practical. All mysteries... find their rational solution in human practice and in the comprehension of this practice. Theses on Feuerbach History is nothing but the succession of the separate generations, each of which exploits the materials, the capital funds, the productive forces handed down to it by all preceding generations. The German Ideology Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
8 Species Being What is special about humans? Humans work What distinguishes human societies is the organization of human production Humans species being is a complete link between self and worldly activity Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
9 Alienation Artificial separation of things that are naturally united Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
10 Primitive Communism Primitives are not alienated from their labor Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
11 Economic Development Drives Social Change...and the news isn t (all) good! 1 Intellectual success breeds economic growth 2 Economic growth enables technological change 3 Technological change brings social change 4 More on this next week Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
12 Alienation of Labor A person and her work are naturally merged Economic necessity drives society to divorce them Man is therefore alienated from his own labor because it confronts him as external Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
13 The Commodity Fetish Remember: a fetish is desire misplaced onto an incorrect object Why do people work? 1 to make the stuff they need; 2 because it s their species being Under capitalism, people don t understand their own desires; they want things because of the price they command Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
14 The Origin and Role of Ideas Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
15 The Origin and Role of Ideas The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas. (The German Ideology) Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
16 The Origin and Role of Ideas Paradox Why do criticism, then, if it s material reality and not ideas that move the world? Answer Dialectics! The material and the ideal are dialectically related. Ideas (Superstructure) Material (Base) Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers from the chain... so that [man] shall cast off the chain and pluck the living flower. Material force can only be overthrown by material force; but theory itself becomes a material force when it has seized the masses. Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
17 Conflict and Consent History, therefore, is driven by conflicts Conflict is functional and fundamental Consent: a kind of false consciousness produced by the ruling class in an attempt to suppress conflict Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
18 The Overall Theory of History Primitive society: nomads animal husbandry and agriculture Agriculture feudal class structure (landowners vs. peasants) Efficient planting trading trading class (bourgeoisie) Importance of trading grows bourgeois revolution (French, American, etc.) Processing and manufacture capitalist class structure (capitalists vs. workers) Dependence on workers proletarian revolution socialism... = Communism Andrew J. Perrin SOCI 250 Karl Marx: Humanity, Alienation, Capitalism September 17, / 21
