MARX AND NIETZSCHE · THE HISTORICAL · THE WORKS
During almost the entire second half of the s. XIX and until it closed the second major XX crisis (in August 1945: Hiroshima and Nagasaki) the aggregate complex social, economic, cutural, and institutional means that sometimes the formula-epitome of 'Western culture' was confronted with a series of critical systemic subverter clearly vocations. We could refer to the same chronological started in publishing the Communist Manifesto (Marx-Engels) in 1848 and placing it closed at the height of the end of the 2 nd GM (1945: Hiroshima ...). These challenges, which were very intense from the social sciences (from analysis and critique of Marx), and from moral philosophy (from Nietzsche, and the subsequent contribution of psychoanalysis to Freud) were also expressed in the field of speculative thought (E. Husserl), and the arts (the 'isms' immediately after the French impressionism, futurism, surrealism, cubism, expressionism ... .) The French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913/2005) coined the term "the soupçon maîtres" (masters of suspicion) to designate a philosophical tradition that contesting from different analytical positions and actions begin to undermine this point in the late nineteenth twentieth-early foundations of western liberal and Christian.
Beset by violence and the radical nature of these shocks to the Western consciousness very few who were able to see the first effects of them were able to see and appreciate the fact that these invectives and accusations to society as a generator of all evil that man has to endure throughout his life had clear precedents in other much earlier philosophies. More remarkable is the fact that most unique works of these 'masters of suspicion' is possible to find and fairly direct reference 'embarrassing' to:
- moral schools of Hellenism (the proximity of the proposal of the Nietzschean revaluation of all values \u200b\u200bto the exploits 'antimoralist' cynical and Cyrenaica)
- old materialist tradition (as evidenced in the young Marx's doctoral thesis on ancient materialism in Democritus and Epicurus),
- and even literature and ancient art, especially the Greek as the hidden springs that emerge these 'modern' updates (well, for example, Freud's assessment of Greek tragedy, or vindication Nietzschean Dionysian spirit)
this to turn off the bias of character 'radically new' with the meanings which may still be answering those contemporary movements, socialism, ethics 'without God', materials, bound ...- nihilisms these doctrines' of suspicion. " The effect of corrosion or subversion related to such doctrines has left his mark on issues crucial to the Christian society of western liberal as can be:
- scientist (providentialism overcoming genesic from the diffusion Darwinism);
- the moral (a critique of the values \u200b\u200band proposals Transvalores of Nietzsche, in a sense subsequently endorsed by the writings of Freud);
- the aesthetic (again Nietzsche and Freud), social-
- political (the utopian socialists before Marx, the original Marxism in the mid nineteenth century and his followers socialists of the Second International, founded in 1889, and the Third, which gave coverage to the communist movement or 'socialism' from the revolution Bolshevik Russia, 1917);
- the sociological (Marx and Engels, especially with its doctrine structuralist Marx and his concept of 'mode production ');
- the philosophical-historical (again Marx and Engels, that try to overcome criticism of the Philosophy of History and romantic idealist GWH Hegel);
- religious (Nietzsche's prophecy of the death of God , with which it closes the nineteenth century).
Well truth is that such a corrosive effect continues to operate from the works of the most notable followers of these three 'masters suspicion ': From the two generations of the Frankfurt School (Horkheimer M. J. Habermas), from the postmodern' angry '(M. Foucault, G. Deleuze), and from different Hispanic formulas that are listed under the title 'XXI Century Socialism' (the Ethics release, the Argentine-Mexican Enrique Dussel, indigenous movements in Mexico, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala ...).
In conclusion could say that, although the West at the height of 1948 with the establishment in Europe of OEEC to channel aid under the Marshall Plan, began to rise from the ashes and rubble, this 'resurgence ally' does not occur in a truly final. Background The crisis remains, and it is not clear who has been overcome. Not even that has been overcome today by member states of the European Union (2009). Because the old problems persist, various forms of social marginalization and violence, institutional corruption, militarism, the survival of the nuclear threat, latent and chronic, such as East East ... - and, we could still say that many of them, far from being resolved, have become more complex in its relation to other new issues (environmental disaster, the polarization East / Islam - West / Liberalism) and more acute. Reasons for this complex and Marx on the sociological level nor in that of political protest inspired by the original socialism, nor Nietzsche with his outright rejection of the moral and militant church, nor psychoanalytic Freud with his knife, capable of being used not only in individual bodies, but in the social, are far from being overcome.
from Karl Marx (1818-1833)
could underline the fact that his life was devoted to political turmoil and the scientific analysis of social reality. The edition of the Communist Manifesto (1848), written by K. Marx and Engels Br is a key to understanding the political history of contemporary Europe and also the history of labor movements. Same could be said of the Preamble to the Constitution of the First International Transport Workers (AIT), 1864. This Association was a pool of labor parties, trade unions and training 'leftists' who accept the ideological and tactical supervision of a cadre of 'internationalist' whose foremost goal is to consolidate an effective political and social opposition to the interests bourgeois class, as well as directing all actions of the AIT to achieve a social revolution based international 'proletarian' assumed to be historical overcoming of liberal capitalism and the ultimate eradication of cruel and alienating its contradictions.
The great work of Karl Marx is titled capital '(Das Kapital ). Written as the development of an earlier work, the more unsystematic and, above all, less conclusive entitled ' Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy ' (1859). This is a comprehensive analysis of the capitalist system that consists of three large volumes, the first of them the only Marx could see published (in 1867), and the only one that was corrected by his hand. The other two were released, corrected and, in places, rewritten by his colleague and Engels Br protector, a thinker whom some critics have made a philosophical education broader than that of Marx himself. Together with his colleague (Engels) Marx wrote some of the most important for the definition of 'original Marxism' such as' La Sagrada Familia ', and' The German Ideology. " None of them had, however, the historical importance of The Communist Manifesto and Capital.
The life of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
was marked by pain, instability, and in his later years, madness. Its size visionary writer, poet, music critic and arts, and prophet Transvalores is evident in his work. This work of Nietzsche, because of its originality and its voluntary nature unsystematic, reflected in the aphorism that the fans always cultivated N, and also due to the inconclusive nature of most of his writings, it is difficult to present as belonging to a corpus . But yes that can be listed some particularly interesting and important titles concerning the evolution of his thinking. Among all the highlights of his great work Thus Spake Zarathustra (1885), linked to its period of maximum creativity and commitment to himself. In this same period that is truncated by his fall into madness (Turin, 1889) dating back to his other two great works: Beyond Good and Evil (1886), and The Genealogy of Morals (1887). With these three works Nietzsche operated the alchemical prodigy (and expressed in his letters) to make gold all the 'crap' which saw him become their daily lives. the remainder of its production could highlight the posthumous Ecce Homo, and The Antichrist (Christianity Curse) , and Aurora (1881), and The Gay Science (1882), the latter works where he developed a more systemic way his critique of religion, metaphysics and morals of Socratic-Platonic influences. Similarly, Twilight of the gods, how do philosophy with a hammer (1889) ( Götzen-Dämmerung, oder: Wie man mit dem Hammer philosophirt ), one of his last works 'lucid', particularly interesting for us with his vision of the dialectic, in a more Socratic-Platonic between the Apollonian and the Dionysian, and the consequences of the underestimation of the Dionysian in the 'western culture', and also when assessing the scope of its prophetic doctrine of the 'revaluation of all values'.
With all of his writings published, some of them are fixed, ie the presentation was forged in 1939 a kind of summa entitled ' On the will to power' . This sad pantomime staged for Hitler by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth, is one explanation of the unfortunate post mortem established relationship between Nietzsche's thought and Nazi ideology. But, unfortunately, is not unique.
