Philosophy of History (Marx)

Marx's philosophy of history views history as a dynamic process driven by material economic conditions rather than ideas alone. He believed society progresses through class struggles—such as workers versus owners—shaping political and social change. These conflicts arise because economic systems (like capitalism) influence how people live, work, and organize society. Ultimately, Marx saw history as a series of stages moving towards a classless society where resources are shared more equally. His perspective emphasizes that economic realities and power relations fundamentally shape historical development.
