Marx’s Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right

Summary/Abstract: In order to find the essence of Hegel’s interpretation of right, i.e. Critique of his philosophy of rights in Marx’s work Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, it would have to be the sentence form the Critique: “In modern states, just as in Hegel›s philosophy of right, the real essence of general things is only formal, or only what is formal is essentially general thing. Hegel does not deserve contempt for describing the true essence of modern state, but for showing that, what it is, is actually the essence of the state (italic S. K.). What is real in mind is in contradiction to reality out of the mind. Reality which in every step represents opposition to what it expresses and what it is.” Marx’s attitudes towards Hegel’s perspective of right and state are important for several reasons. First, this is the first serious and detailed analysis of Hegel’s document Basic outline of philosophy of right after its publication in philosophical public. Second, with this criticism Marx takes the stand towards his entire philosophy and philosophy in general, and German classical idealism in particular. Third, Marx’s approach to the right is completely opposite to almost all philosophical and legal analyses until then, if we have in mind that he considered right and state as instruments for legalization of alienation and not the form for making freedom serious. Due to the stated reasons Karl Marx is an exceptionally important thinker for the philosophy of right and one of the most current theoreticians of today. This currentness is visible in ever stronger summons to Marx’s philosophy in order to provide relevant reply to the issue of the cause of global inequality and injustice in the world. Therefore, Marx’s “methodology” is used to repeatedly analyses foundations and main mechanisms of neoliberal movements in the world with particular emphasis on disproportion between technical and technological progress and the misery and deprivation of majority of human population.
