The German Ideology (German: Die deutsche Ideologie, sometimes written as A Critique of the German Ideology) is a set of manuscripts originally written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels around April or early May 1846. Marx and Engels did not find a publisher, but the work was later retrieved and published for the first time in 1932 by David Riazanov through the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. The first part of the book is an exposition of Marx's "materialist conception of history", though recent research for the new Marx Engels Gesamtausgabe (MEGA) indicates that much of the 'system' in this part was created afterwards by the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow in the 1930s, from the set of manuscripts written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Much of the rest of the book consists of many satirical polemics against Bruno Bauer, other Young Hegelians, and Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own …

Du constat à la transformation

5 stars

Comme le dit la description, le livre ne fût publié que bien après Marx & Engels et il est resté sous forme d'ébauche. Passages abîmés, ratures, commentaires, plan partiel peuvent rendre la lecture difficile. La critique de Feuerbach, premier à tenter d'appliquer le matérialisme à la philosophie de Hegel, est explicative. Marx et Engels lui sont redevables, étape dans leur propre développement qui s'affermit justement par ce livre dont la seconde partie a une forme pamphlétaire contre Bruno Bauer et Max Stirner. Malgré que c'est une ébauche, le fait que les idées y sont en cours d'élaboration, esquissées à grand trait, peut rendre paradoxalement plus accessibles certains aspects du matérialisme historique. Cette édition comprend des textes de Feuerbach, Bauer et Stirner ainsi que les Thèses sur Feuerbach dont est extrait le célèbre : «Les philosophes n'ont fait qu'interpréter diversement le monde, ce qui importe, c'est de le transformer.»
