Hegelian Marxism

Hegelian Marxism combines the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel with Karl Marx’s ideas. It sees history as a dialectical process—where conflicting ideas clash and evolve—driven by material conditions and economic forces. Hegelians emphasize the importance of ideas and consciousness in shaping history, but Marx’s influence redirects focus to material realities like class struggle and economic production. This synthesis suggests that ideas and material conditions interact dynamically, progressing society toward greater equality, with historical change driven both by economic factors and evolving human consciousness.
