Moving From The Reduction Of The Same Society To Its Economical Structure, ...
Moving from the reduction of the same society to its economical structure, Marx theory society is nothing more that a theory of economics, and the point of view of this new materialism is the revolutionary Praxis, action. The real and active personality of the man is the one that come out in the working relations, in which man is involved. So, it's through his work the man is in an active relationship with the nature and only working he creates himself, his natural and material existence. Production and work are not a condemn, but the man itself, thus, through the work is expressed the human freedom: the chance to create, in a specific manner, his own life. This freedom is not endless, because the production is conditioned by material conditions and needs, though this conditions are not external but inner to the human being. The main points of Marx anthropology are: 1) it doesn't exist any essence or human nature in general; 2) the human being is always conditioned by relationships with the other human being and nature, because of the working production's needs; 3) the man is conditioned and at the same time he can do the same with his work; 4) the human being is a social being. Marx thought that is not the human soul to establish how to be, but the society and the social being to establish how the soul should be. From this point of view, the only decisive element in history is the society's economical structure. While, the over-structure, with everything that comes along with it, is a kind of shadow or reflex of the structure and share with it, only indirectly, the historicity. For over-structure Marx means the moral, the religion, the metaphysics and all the ideologies. The economical structure, at those times, was in the hand of capitalists. The capitalistic society arose out of the work division, that divide capital and labour, and generates a laceration in the human personality. In that society the productive forces are covered by individuals and constitutes an independent world, is that to say the private property. To these forces is opposed the main part of the individuals, that deprived of any real contents in their lives, become abstract individuals, even if they can get in contact each other.The work, that is the only way, for individuals, to get in contact with the productive forces, lose, to their eyes, every appearance of personal manifestation and sustain their lives on the only condition to make their lives sad. Communism will realize the end of the private property, same as of the capital; will conceal the laceration that the private property brought in the social structure and inside of men. Labour will be, then, an autonomous activity, personal, the real tool for the human solidarity.
