Synopsis

The work analyzes the phenomenon of socialist humanism and his contradictory. Fundamental for the author are the thesis that humanism is ideological rather than scientific in nature and the distinction between “class humanism” and “socialist humanism.” The humanist period in the work of Karl Marx is considered: its first stage is marked by the influence of the rationalist philosophy of Kant and Fichte, the second by the influence of Feuerbach. Marx’s radical departure from the philosophy of man in the course of developing the project of historical materialism is examined. According to the author, the “antihumanism” of Marx’s new methodology consisted in rejecting the empiricism of the subject.
