Marxistische Philosophie: Erkenntnis und Existenz
Marxist philosophy: knowledge and existence

Summary/Abstract: How does the theoretical Marxism of today establish and articulate the origin and goal of his way of thinking? Since the beginning of the 1960s, Polish, Czech and Yugoslavian literature in particular has distinguished two main currents of contemporary Marxist philosophy: a scientist and a humanist one. This distinction has now become commonplace. Sometimes the thought movements visualized by it are also called cosmocentric and anthropocentric, ontological and ethical or simply philosophy of nature and philosophy of man. Confrontation and correspondence between these two main currents of Marxist philosophy of the contemporary, on the one hand, with modern neo-positivism and, on the other hand, with modern existentialism, are unmistakable. This is also the result of the critical attention that is being paid, especially in the Soviet Union, to opposition to positivist and existentialist danger.
