World Views and Values: Karl Marx, Estranged Labor (lecture 2)

This is a lecture video developed for my new online World Views and Values class with the ReasonIO Academy, which you can access here - reasonio.teachable.com/p/world...

The course was originally developed for students at Marist College. In this portion of the class, we are reading, examining, and discussing portions of Karl Marx's works, Estranged Labor and The Communist Manifesto
This video focuses specifically on Marx's early work, Estranged Labor and discusses the four modes of alienation detailed in that work.
The course itself is intended to introduce students without a background in philosophy to some of the key texts, authors, perspectives, and concepts of the History of Ideas, with a particular focus upon human nature, culture and society, and the reality underlying and encompassing human beings and their experiences.
Intro music is Russian Easter Festival Overture, Op. 36, by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, performance placed in the public domain by MusOpen

    ...and Hiedegger will reinterpreted the efficient cause into poesis, so that the silver smith is not an alienated worker, but a craftsman who has something like the final end in the beginning. The power of creation is in the self guided and responsive silver smith in making a chalice, and the world that goes with it. Authentic Dasien is possibility within a referential totality. Thank you.

    Mark Trumble That sort of craft-work, Marx says, isn't quite so alienating. That's not most work in modern industrial society, which is what he is talking about

    agreed. Heidegger uses human being as his access point into being qua being, and thus would not see alienation of the labourer in his product, but rather his absorption in practical tasks which robs him of all his possibilities. But this is much more humane than the kind of alienation that Marx is talking about, where the surplus value is used ultimately against the workers.

    I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. I come back to these videos again and again. Thanks for all your work, please make videos on Lacan 😢 I’ve been waiting forever since you released that first video. What I really enjoy about your videos is that you actually read things from the text. This is a great way to teach (to students). Who I believe are your main audience. Please, keep up with the great work. I feel like I should pay my tuition fees to you rather than the university I go to but as a student I don’t have a lot of money hahaha… wish I could contribute some how apart from the views.

    In your experience, how much do you think _chavismo_ is similar to or differs from Marxism?

    @@ArsenioGut "chavismo" is a reformist social democratic ideology. Marxism is a way of seeing historical phenomena, the progress of society, relations of production and economic analyses.
