In early 1841, while working on his dissertation on Democritus and Epicurus, Marx compiled several notebooks of excerpts from modern philosophers: some works of Leibniz, Hume’s Treatise on Human Nature, Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico-politicus and epistolary, and Rosenkranz’s History of Kantian Philosophy. As Matheron has already demonstrated with regard to the Spinoza Notebook, Marx’s extracts constitute an attempt to appropriate the thought of the philosophers studied in order to adapt it to one’s own theoretical-political purposes.

Abstract
In early 1841, while working on his dissertation on Democritus and Epicurus, Marx compiled several notebooks of excerpts from modern philosophers: some works of Leibniz, Hume’s Treatise on Human Nature, Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico-politicus and epistolary, and Rosenkranz’s History of Kantian Philosophy. As Matheron has already demonstrated with regard to the Spinoza Notebook, Marx’s extracts constitute an attempt to appropriate the thought of the philosophers studied in order to adapt it to one’s own theoretical-political purposes.File in questo prodotto:
