Marx: a Philosophical Portrait

Summary/Abstract: The Difference between Demokritus and Epicures Philosophy of Nature Ergo, being more involved in hellenistic philosophy than in the systems of Plato and Aristotle, (although, Marx was, for a certain period of time, strongly influenced by Hegel), he accepts epicurean, stoical and skeptical „systems“ as the „key“ of understanding the history of Greek philosophy (which meaning is not in the philosophical content but in its relationship towards reality). Consequently, Marx considers Epicurean philosophy as the final chapter in Greek philosophy: he claims that analyzing Epicurean philosophy reversely leads to grasping the entire Greek philosophy having in mind that abstractness and totality of Aristocle and Hegelabsolutism hinders the philosophical development in its traditional sense oft he word. At such historical turns it is necessary to guit the absolutism and trigger the proces of philosophical research from the very beginning which encapsulates more pragmatic relation towards reality than merely theoretical approach.
