Labour pains
Manage episode 242165183 series 2525213
This episode we look at the man, the myth, the beard, the Comrade to end all Comrades: Karl Marx. Other than developing the foremost critique of capitalism, Marx's (1818 - 1883) theory of labour gives us insight into how he perceived humans, and for us - the self. This week, we look at Marx's theory of labour, ask - what is species being? and think about the implications of producing under capitalist conditions. We also have some hot Marx and Hegel gossip!
What should I read?
Good question! You can focus on the section 'Estranged Labour' in Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844).
