Philosophy and Hope: Bloch and Loewith Interpreters of Marx

Angebote / Angebote:

¿It will then be clear that the world has long possessed the dream of a thing of which it only needs to possess the consciousness in order really to possess it.¿ Karl Marx One of the greatest unsolved issues that Karl Marx bequeathed to his interpreters concerns the legitimacy of practical and theoretical hope, both in the frame of his thought and in the wider horizon of philosophy. The entire Marxian work seems to be enigmatically suspended between the opposite dimensions of science and hope. The interpretative lines chosen by Ernst Bloch and Karl L¿with see in Marx a philosopher of hope more than a philosopher of science, and these reflections recognise the inevitable utopian tension in relation to which science is a secondary and functional phenomenon. They both claim that hope is at the heart of Marx¿s thought, however, given the antithetic views about this feeling held in their philosophical reflections, they end up with an opposite evaluation of hope.
