Hegelum Marxum / ஹெகலும் மார்க்சும்

The philosophy of  Hegel and  Feuerbach are described in this book in a simple way. It is clearly mentioned how the dialectics and materialistic aspects evolved from German philosophy. Although Hegel and Feuerbach made great contributions to the dialectics and materialism respectively, it is only Marx developed a holistic, scientific and dialectical materialist theory that was entangled in Hegel's dialectical idealism and Feuerbach materialist ideology.

As Marx says, our primary goal is to change the world. But the precondition for changing this is, to understand the world scientifically. A most important duty is to have understood the socio-economic conditions in order to get closer to reality by way of dialectical point of view.  This book will help to examine the thinking patterns and attitudes that occupy us, and further to sharpen the same on the basis of Marxist dialectics.

There has long been a great deal of debate about Marx's philosophy and the extent of its relationship with Hegel. The reason why we have to read Hegel is to weed out the old reactionary traditional ideas that have occupied our thinking and to fully absorb the Marxist philosophical methodology and to understand the complex scenario of the present world. This book is written due to the desire to understand Marxism from its historical background.
