Document Summary
In contrast to comte, marx did not believe that science would build a new society of order. Did not believe that spiritual beliefs brought society together. What we experience as our ideas is really a crisis as how we work in our labour life. He thought the reason the french revolution was still in chaos was because of capitalism. His parents were jewish but his father was a child of the scientific enlightenment. Marx and his family switched to christianity. Went on to study law in germany. Went to the university of berlin so he could be where the action was. There he fell into radical circles who followed a philosopher names hegel. At the time he was the most important philosopher in germany. He got married and moved to paris. He started spending all his time reading adam smith. As he was doing that he met the key players in the radical scene at the time.
