关于此电子书

A new translation into American English of Marx's 1847 "Das Elend der Philosophie" or "The Misery of Philosophy". This has historically been translated as "The Poverty of Philosophy", but in this translation it is rendered "The Misery of Philosophy" since it is Marx's reply to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's 1847 "The System of Economic Contradictions, or The Philosophy of Misery"

This is volume VI in The Complete Works of Karl Marx by Livraria Press. This edition includes a new introduction by the translator and reference materials including a Glossary of Philosophic and Economic Marxist Terminology, an Index of Personalities Associated with Marx and a Timeline of Marx’s Life and Works.

Originally published in French under the title "Misère de la philosophie. Réponse a la philosophie de la misère de M. Proudhon" in 1847 in Paris, the German version was published in 1884 in Stuttgart.

作者简介

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist and revolutionary whose ideas have had a profound influence on political theory, economics and social science. Along with Friedrich Engels, Marx developed the theory of historical materialism, arguing that economic structures fundamentally shape social development. His seminal works, The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, criticise the capitalist system, arguing that it leads to class struggle and the exploitation of the working class. Marx envisioned a society in which class distinctions would dissolve, culminating in a classless, stateless society. His theories laid the foundations for various socialist and communist movements, influencing world politics and inspiring revolutions. Although controversial, Marx's analysis of capitalism and advocacy of social justice continue to be studied and debated, making him one of the most influential thinkers in modern history.
