Born in Germany on May 5, 1818, Karl Marx was the third child among nine children in a middle-class family. His father was Heinrich Markus, a lawyer by profession, and his mother was Henriette Presburg. Karls Markus's primary education was done by his father and then he was admitted to the high school called Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium.
After studying there for five years, Marx managed to complete his degree in 1835. During his education, he studied history, mathematics, literature and language and he has become an expert in Greek and Latin languages. Apart from that, he is also able to handle Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian and English.
youth
In 1835, he entered the University of Bonn because his father wanted him to become a lawyer. But there he takes the opportunity to study philosophy and literature. He spends a short time there for about a year and has turned to poetry writing during this time. Because of his behavior, his father, who withdraws him from that university, returns Marx to the University of Berlin. In Berlin, Marx joins a group of dissidents. There he will be able to nurture his vision about religion, philosophy, behavior and politics. In 1841, Marx was able to complete his doctorate from the University of Berlin.
The Political Life of Marx
The death of Marx's father happened at the same time and because of the economic difficulties caused by it, Marx entered the art of writing. In 1941, he wrote the book 'The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature'. For this, his economic, political and linguistic ability will be of great help. His essays often contained revolutionary ideas and they were highly accepted by the society at that time. In the year 1942, Marx, who got a position as editor of the newspaper 'Rheinische Zeitung', worked to describe the economic and social problems of the society at that time. Because of this, the Prussian government banned the newspaper.
After that, in 1843, Marx left for Paris and joined the revolutionary newspaper 'Deutsch Franz sische Jahrb cher'. Unfortunately, that too was stopped by the government and after that he joined a newspaper called 'Vorwarts!' During this time, he met Friedrich Engels, the second founder of Marx's philosophy.
Together these two carried out a large amount of research and completed the philosophical publication called 'Das Kapital'. As before, this is also prohibited and he continues to continue the art of writing. Meanwhile, he traveled to Brussels in 1845, where he joined a secret organization called 'League of the Just'.
He uses the organization as a way of socializing his philosophy and manages to register the secret organization as a political party under the name 'The Communist League'. Due to his political activities, he was exiled and had to travel to France and then to England on May 16, 1849. There he joins the German Socialist Workers' Education Association and works with the New York Daily Tribune to promote his philosophy. Marx, who joined the International Labor Union in 1864, carried out the work of educating the workers through it.
The impact of Marx's philosophy on the world
According to Marx's philosophy, the social evolution of the world is divided into 5 parts. Primitive collective society (hunting, stone and stone ages), slave society (the age divided into powerful and powerless, where there was a slave as well as a slave owner), feudal society (there was a king and different social classes or castes), capitalist They are called society (here there are two social sections that do work from others), and socialist society (this is a society that works for common goals that treat everyone as one).
