عن المؤلف
Karl Marx (1818–1883), a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, and revolutionary socialist, remains a towering figure in the intellectual history of the modern world. Born in Trier, Prussia, Marx developed a groundbreaking theoretical framework combining elements of German idealism, French socialism, and English political economy. He is best known for his critical analysis of capitalism, the ramifications of which reverberate across political and economic thought. His magnum opus, ‘Das Kapital’ (The Capital), conceived in three volumes (1867, 1885, 1894), stands as a monumental critique of political economy. The first volume, published during his lifetime, meticulously details the capitalist mode of production and the systemic exploitation inherent within it, formulated in his famous concept of ‘surplus value’. His literary style in ‘Das Kapital’ is dense, historical, and analytical, showcasing his reliance on empirical data to buttress his arguments. Marx’s thought gave birth to Marxism, an ideology and movement that aims for a classless and stateless society structured upon communal ownership of the means of production. His work maintains scholarly acclaim and contentious debate, influencing various fields such as economics, politics, sociology, and philosophy. Marx’s contribution to literature and human thought remains profound, asserting that the economic structure of society fundamentally shapes all aspects of human life and culture.
