• Answer:

  Name: Karl Marx Birth Date: May 5, 1818 Death Date: March 14, 1883 Place of Birth: Trier, Germany Place of Death: London, England Nationality: German Gender: Male Occupations: philosopher, leader World of Sociology on Karl Marx The German philosopher, radical economist, and revolutionary leader Karl Marx founded modern scientific socialism. His basic ideas--known as Marxism--form the foundation of socialist and communist movements. Marx spent most of his life in exile, antagonizing Prussian, French, and Belgium governments. He settled in London, where he spent the rest of his life in dire poverty and relative obscurity. His reputation began to spread only after the emergence of the socialist parties in Europe, especially in Germany and France, in the 1870s and 1880s. From then on, Marx's theories continued to be hotly debated in the growing labor and socialist movements everywhere, including Czarist Russia. By the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, socialist parties had mostly accepted Marxism, particularly the idea of the class struggle and the establishment of a socialist society. Lenin, a lifelong disciple of Marx, organized the Soviet Union as a proletarian dictatorship based on Marx's philosophy Marx was born in Trier, Rhenish Prussia, on May 5, 1818, the son of Heinrich Marx, a lawyer, and Henriette Presburg Marx, a Dutchwoman, both descendants of rabbis. Karl later became an atheist; he coined the aphorism, "Religion is the opium of the people," a cardinal principle in modern communism. At school, Karl became proficient in French and Latin; later years he taught himself other languages, so that as a mature scholar he could also read Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Russian, and English. In Berlin, Marx joined the Young Hegelians, who met frequently to debate. Marx spent more than four years in Berlin, completing his studies there in March 1841. The University of Jena awarded him the degree of doctor of philosophy on the strength of his abstruse and learned dissertation. In Paris, about 1842, Marx first came in contact with the working class, gave up philosophy as a life goal, and began to study economics. In Brussels in 1848 he founded the German Workers' Party and was active in the Communist League, for whom he and Friedrich Engels wrote Manifesto of the Communist Party (known as the government Marx moved back to Cologne, where he was editor of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung for less than a year, until paper was suppressed and he was exiled again. He finally settled in London, where he lived as a stateless exile (Britain denied him citizenship, and Prussia refused to renaturalize him). In London, Marx's sole means of support was journalism, but it paid wretchedly. Marx was literally saved from starvation by the continuous financial support of Engels. A man of immense learning and sharp intellectual power, Marx, often impatient and irascible, antagonized people by his sardonic wit, bluntness, and dogmatism, which bordered on arrogance. His enemies were legion. Yet despite his deserved reputation as a hard and disagreeable person, he had a soft spot for children. Marx was married to his childhood sweetheart, Jenny von Westphalen, who died of cancer on December 2, 1881, at the age of 67. For Marx it was a blow from which he never recovered. The Marxes had seven children, four of whom died in infancy or childhood. Of the three surviving daughters, two were suicides. Marx spent most of his working time in the British Museum, doing research. He was a most conscientious scholar. In preparation for Das Kapital, he read virtually every available work in economic and financial theory and practice in the major languages of Europe. Marx's excessive smoking, wine drinking, and consumption of heavily spiced foods may have contributed to his illnesses. In the last two decades of his life he was tormented by a mounting succession of ailments. He died in his armchair in London on March 14, 1883, just before his sixty-fifth birthday. He is buried in London's Highgate Cemetery. Marx's writings fall into two general categories, the polemical-philosophical and the economic-political. The first reflected his Hegelian-idealistic period; the second, his revolutionary-political interests. Marx wrote hundreds of articles, brochures, and reports but only five books were published during his lifetime. His worldwide reputation rests on Critique of Political Economy and, more particularly, Das Kapital (Capital). A fourth volume of Das Kapital was brought together by Karl Kautsky after Engels's death. It was based on Marx's notes and materials from Critique of Political Economy and was published in three parts, under the title Theories of Surplus Value. Marx is best understood if one studies his theory of history and politics. The central idea in Marx's thought is the materialistic conception of history which involves two notions: tha
