Document Summary

Karl marx (video: capitalism gives a more promising future. Ideology value judgments that relate back to the economy, more belongings = more happiness or persons who do not work are lazy: distinction between the political marxism and its critique and as a method for understanding human relations. Dialectics: various parts that push and pull one another to create a whole. Neither self-conscious nor free (others towards me, oppression on yourself) Free and fully self-conscious unity (how it all comes together) This was viewed as absolute truth that everyone would achieve. Two persons aware of their inter-dependence, though, not through their shared universal mind. Thus, there must be liberation of the slave and liberation of both beings. Thought would always produce outside material reality but this is not the case and shows that consciousness is what produces our relationships. Opposing and barriers to mind are appearances, limiting the ability to find its infinite powers and unity.
