The specter speaks: About the concept of humanism in Karl Marx

Authors

  • Martin Dege

Abstract

Karl Marx did not only realize, as Engels put it, that Hegel was »standing on his head,« the economic and philosophic manuscripts introduced a concept of humanism with which he opposed Hegel’s »false positivism.« In the following, I outline the ways in which this spirit of a new humanism is articulated through the specter Marx invokes in the communist manifesto.
