Document Summary
Activist; worked in same circles as marx to alleviate plight of workers. Condition of the working class in england. *both worried about what the immortal life is like, and trying to determine the best ways for god to treat them in that immortal life* Marx: religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sign of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religi n is the halo. Some key features of marx and engels" philosophy of history.
