Hegel_In_Marx__Accounts_And_Misinterpretations

Hegel In Marx: Accounts And Misinterpretations The system Karl Marx developed follows Hegel’s account of the dialectical structure of history. Hegelian thought was the most important and influential philosophical thought of Marx’s time. Marx is considered to be part of the left Hegelian thought; members here made use of Hegel’s ideas in order to work against Hegel himself. Marx criticizes Hegel for being an idealist in that Hegel views the basis of everything as a self-consciousness of which everything else follows. Marx uses Hegel’s dialectic but turns it against Hegel because for Marx, the starting point is materiality, from which everything else follows. Even though Marx felt his dialectic is vastly different from his predecessor, in many respects Hegel and Marx were in alignment with each other due to misinterpretations on Marx’s part. Even though Hegel’s economic market in civil society contains many characteristics of capitalism, Hegel realizes the possibility for the problems in a free market similar to that of Marx; ultimately Hegel’s remedies for these problems cannot be accepted by Marx.
