Summary Of "An Approach To The Thought Of Karl Marx" By D. Pogliaga & E. Mecle: UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES

By MAURICIO ENRIQUE FAU

We have summarized the essential of this book by the author.

Marx affirmed that the creative capacities of man are repressed by societies divided into social classes, including especially capitalism, where basic issues such as hunger are not the product of natural factors but imposed by other men.

In his economic-philosophical manuscripts of 1844, Marx posits the dehumanization of man as a consequence of alienation. This begins with the separation of men with respect to their means of production and subsistence.
In feudalism, the feudal lord gave protection to the serf in his fiefdom, in exchange for unpaid work. Capitalism "expels" the serfs and separates them from their means of production (land, farming tools, etc.), forcing them to sell their labor power to survive.

AN APPROACH TO KARL MARX'S THOUGHT

Marx affirmed that the creative capacities of man are repressed by societies divided into social classes, including especially capitalism, where basic issues such as hunger are not the product of natural factors but imposed by other men.

Alienation concept

In his economic-philosophical manuscripts of 1844, Marx posits the dehumanization of man as a consequence of alienation. This begins with the separation of men with respect to their means of production and subsistence.

In feudalism, the feudal lord gave protection to the serf in his fiefdom, in exchange for unpaid work. Capitalism expels the serfs and separates them from their means of production (land, farming tools, etc.), forcing them to sell their labor power to survive.

Thus arises the ORIGINARY ACCUMULATION, the moment of birth of capitalism, on the basis of violence and blood. The WORKER is then formed, free from the means of production and forced to sell the only thing he has, his labor power, in exchange for a salary.

With the Industrial Revolution, the objective of production was no longer to consume but to sell for a profit.

MEN ARE ALIENATED FROM THEIR PROPERTY AND IN ORDER NOT TO DIE OF HUNGER, THEY SELL THEIR LABOR POWER TO A CAPITALIST

BY PRODUCING OBJECTS, the worker consumes his energy. That energy, which is HIS WORK FORCE, IS TARGETED IN GOODS that do not belong to him, the producer, but to the capitalist.

THE WORKER PUTS HIS LIFE OF HIM ON THE OBJECT THAT HE PRODUCES, BUT HIS LIFE OF HIM DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM, BUT TO THE OBJECT. HIS WORK from him AND THE PRODUCT OF HIS WORK DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM: THE WORKER IS ALIENATED

The activity of the worker is alienating because his work is not a necessity but a means to satisfy his needs, which are external to his work.

Concept of: goods, product, production

In order to live, man has to produce the material conditions of his existence. Since goods are scarce, he must produce them and for this he must enter into relationship with nature.

GOODS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF HUMAN LABOR IN RELATION TO NATURE
