Feuerbach, Marx, the other
Abstract
The global economic and political events since 2008 onwards, primarily the big economic crisis, contributed to the fact that Marx's economic thought found itself again in the focus of theoretical research. More than that, however, these events triggered a series of existential human issues, which is why Marx's thought as a whole becomes interesting for a new research. The author discusses Marx's conception of The Other as another man, showing that it cannot be analyzed in isolation from the intellectual tradition that had considerable influence on its formation: Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Science of Logic, as well as Feuerbach's criticism of Hegel. Marx's position is viewed, then, from a standpoint of other-The Other dialectic, showing that this philosopher not only clearly distinguished The Other and mere other, but that his position, by pointing to alienating effect of mere other on the world of real (economic) intersubjective relations, significantly differs from the tradition from whose source it derived. .
