„Człowiek totalny” versus „człowiek integralny”. Przyczynek do Karola Marksa i Iwana Kiriejewskiego rozważań o człowieku
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to compare views on human nature as held by
Karl Marx and Ivan Kireevsky. Despite the fact that Marx and Kireevsky
expounded two totally different philosophical world views (such as
slavophilia and dialectical materialism), both can be described as
socialists: one scientific, the other utopian or religious one. In this
regard, it turns out that some elements of their concepts of a human
being are rather common. Both of them thought that man achieves his
“completeness” or “integrality” in community, not by exclusively private
efforts. Kireevsky envisioned his community as an Orthodox commune,
while Marx his as a classless society. Analysis shows that both
anthropological concepts were more reflecting of their utopian visions
than any working social model.
