Praca i słowa: humanizm socjalistyczny Karola Marksa w świetle foucaultowskiej tezy o kresie człowieka
Streszczenie
The aim of this paper is to compare philosophical methodologies of Karl
Marx and Michel Foucault. The comparison is centered on the problem
of humanism: whereas socialist humanism can be seen as a core belief
of Marx's historical materialism, Foucault on the other hand is often
described as the one of the most fierce critics of humanism. Presented
analysis consists of: reconstruction of Marx's notion of work and its
ontological and epistemological consequences, reconstruction of
Foucault's critique of Marx's outlooks presented in The Order of Things
and analysis of Foucault's thesis about the death of men. The author
points out that the philosophical methodologies of Marx and Foucault
are in fact similar to a large degree, as both philosophers can be
described as materialists, nominalists. Furthermore, both for Marx and
Foucault the human subject is to be thought as historical and socially
manufactured being.
