Conceptualization of Being in K. Marx. The Failure of Marx’s Critique of Hegel - The article thematizes the relationship between the Being and thinking in Marx’s early philosophy. It can be demonstrated that despite of a programmatic focus on “facts”—introduced to emphasize the rupture with German idealism—thinking is not able to reach the Being. This failure is manifested in several aporias of Marx’s philosophy. On the one hand, the accent lies on the Being (“naturalness”), on the other, however, on thinking (“ideology”). Consequently, also the teaching about the end of alienation is split by the demand that the subject must, and at the same time must not, take a leading role in its elimination. The same problem is reflected in the status of the proletarian revolution, which, on the one hand, should have its mandate in the “solved mystery of history,” i.e., in the absolute knowledge, on the other hand, however, this absolute knowledge is yet to be realized by it. The ideal of the end of alienation remains abstract and can get its content as well its normativity only form the conflict with the pre-existing world.
