Status Updates From Selected Writings

Read selections from The German Ideology, Part I and The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. The former was dense and boring, the latter really engaging and rhetorically interesting. I assume the difference is due to editing (The German Ideology was only ever available in its manuscript form?) I’m going to skip the selections from Capital, Vol. I (Part III) as I’ll read the entirety of it at a later date.

Read:
-Toward a Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right: Introduction
-Excerpt-Notes of 1844 (selections)
-Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts (selections) except for the section on Phenomenology

Read:
-The Communist Manifesto
-Preface to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
-Theses on Feurbach
-On the Jewish Question
