Intellectual Influences:
Georg Hegel, August Comte, and Ludwig Feuerbach
German Idealism’s Phenomenonalism: Is human knowledge based on human impressions (Hume), or is reality independent of human experience (Kant)?
David Hume: Ideas extend no further than human experience

Immanuel Kant: phenomenon/noumenon dichotomy: we reason beyond experience, refuting human mind not tabula rasa—this is where new ideas come from
Georg Hegel: Existence of a universal mind or spirit (geist), human mind is a process involving self-expression, self-actualization, self-knowledge

Dialectics: Human mind develops by grasping the interplay between potential opposites, which results in a third alternative or “unity of opposites” involving three concepts: a) change, b) motion, and c) process, in an almost circular motion

Marx and religion

Marx and alienation: production, process of production, relations of production, consumption

Marx’s political economy as a sociological critique: People treat each other and themselves as things, while capital becomes the real subject governing their lives.

Development of capitalism and alienated labo
