The Early Stages to Form the Philosophical Worldview of K. Marx

Abstract

The article analyzes the formation process of K. Marx’s philosophical worldview (1818-1883) from the time of his Doctoral Dissertation, through his working time at the Rhenish Newspaper, to the work “Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Law” (1843). Marx’s new philosophical worldview evolved from idealism to revolutionary democratic thought (when he worked at the Rhenish Newspaper), which led to the beginning of dialectical materialism, historical materialism and scientific communism (explained in his work: Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Law”). This short period yet was crucial, leading K. Marx to a new philosophical worldview.
