A presente tese toma por objeto a relação entre teoria e práxis, tal como foi tratada por Karl Marx em sua fase de transição, em especial no livro A ideologia alemã. Obra em que o autor afirma tanto a prioridade mais definitiva da práxis quanto a quase perfeita impotência da teoria especulativa, rejeitando a filosofia e suas questões para fazer a exigência de uma práxis e uma união imediata entre ela e a teoria, ela torna-se objeto privilegiado para os questionamentos quanto às consequências da afirmação de uma tal prioridade da prática para a filosofia, bem como qual poderia ser o papel de uma teoria que se pretenda em função da práxis. Assim, após algumas considerações iniciais e uma contextualização da obra, a investigação principia por uma análise da noção de práxis desenvolvida nA ideologia alemã, para assim chegar à forma de sua relação com a teoria, como lá desenvolvida; a noção central para esta análise sendo o que aqui se designa por primado da prática. Em seguida, este primado é desdobrado em suas consequências teóricas e para o papel da teoria, resultando dele em muitos aspectos o oposto do que se propunha. Por fim, apresentam-se, a partir do ressurgimento destas questões, duas críticas às concepções dA ideologia alemã, de Cornelius Castoriadis e Theodor Adorno, por meio das quais ilustra-se o caráter de transição deste texto e seus conceitos na obra marxiana, bem como alguns dos acertos e intuições que lhe sobrevivem no autor, e como incitação à reflexão para nós e nosso tempo. / The present thesis takes as its subject the relation of theory and praxis, such as presented by Karl Marx during his transitional period, specially in The German ideology. A work in which the author states the most definitive priority of praxis as well as theorys nearperfect impotence, rejecting philosophy and its questions make the demand for an immediate union of theory and praxis, it offers a privileged ground for questions regarding the consequences of affirming said priority of praxis to philosophy, as well as what could possibly be the role for a theory that intends to be at the service of praxis. Thusly, after a few considerations and giving a contextualization of the text, investigation begins by analyzing the notion of praxis developed throughout The German ideology, and in this way arriving at the form of its relation to theory; the main notion for this analysis being what is designated in this paper as the primacy of practice. Afterwards, this primacy itself us unfolded in all its consequences for theory and theorys role, with the results being often the opposite of what was intended. Lastly, two critiques of the German ideologys conceptions, by Cornelius Castoriadis and Theodor Adorno, are presented, by means of which one may illustrate the transitional character of said book and its concepts in the Marxian corpus, as well as how some of its best insights endure both in the authors latter works, and as a call to reflexion for us and our age.

Title: "To Seize the Masses". Philosophy, ideology and propaganda by Karl Marx Author: Robin Pech Department: Ústav filosofie a religionistiky Supervisor: Mgr. Petr Kouba, Ph.D. Abstract: The aim of the diploma thesis is to thematize and clarify the interdependence of philosophy, ideology and propaganda by Karl Marx. The realization of philosophy, according to Marx, is a critique of modern society. The aim of this critique, however, is not only the understanding and interpretation of social relations but, above all, their change. For these purposes, Marx has developed his philosophy of history. On this basis is explained the nature of modern society and formulated the political programme of its transformation. That is further publicly promoted to ensure adequate - mass - support for the revolution. Thus, arises remarkable combination of philosophy, political ideology and propaganda, which seems to be an integral part of Marx's thought and his literary work and therefore, also a serious problem of his interpretation. Keywords: Marx, Philosophy, Ideology, Prapaganda

The purpose of this study was to analyze how the discourse of immigrants and immigration has changed since 1965 and expose what mechanism control the discourse. The time periods that we choose to analyze were: 1965-1975, 1985-1995 and 2010-2016. These three eras were chosen based on the historical premise of Swedish immigration which concerns labor, refugee and family immigration. To shed light on this issue we used a mixed method of content analysis, more particularly, discourse analysis and argumentationsanalysis for the processing of our empirical data. Our empirical collection consisted of articles from the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens nyheter and the tabloid Aftonbladet. For our analysis we selected four different debate articles for each time period, newspaper or tabloid concerning immigrants and immigration. Altogether 24 articles were analyzed. To understand the discourse of immigrants and immigration we used the classic theorists Foucault and Marx in the formation of our theoretical perspective. Based on our empirical data we found that the welfare state were closely connected to the discourse and that the discourse of immigration and immigrants could be understood through a dynamic model. The model shows the balance of power between an establishment and an opposition. The establishment, opposition and welfare are the mechanisms that do not only control the discourse but also causes the discourse to change.

Despite a preoccupation with the concepts of land and rent during initial historical cycles of colonization and capital expansion, today’s Western philosophers neglect the importance of land, preferring the generic ontologies offered by the ostensibly analogous affordances of space, place, earth, and world. At the same time, Native philosophers provide substantial and robust philosophies of land both as anticolonial strategies and as expressions of the self-determined legitimacy of Native worlds. This dissertation seeks to redress the failure of Western philosophers to engage in meaningful dialogue with Native philosophers by taking anticolonial criticism to the heart of settler environmental philosophies, especially ecological phenomenology and Marxism. / 2021-04-30

While Karl Marx's concept of time has not received the same attention as other elements of his work, it is nonetheless an important aspect of his idea about history. Of those studies which have dealt with this problem, three questions stand. First, to what degree does time contain transhistorical and historically specific elements? Secondly, to what extent does human agency or deterministic forces underpin the construction of historical time? Thirdly, what is the nature of the relationship between absolute and relative time? In attempting to answer these questions, this thesis argues that Marx saw each of these elements as playing an important role in the constitution of historical time.In particular, this thesis argues that Marx demonstrates that time is manifested in the material world through a process that expresses transhistorical features in the emanation of time through human creative activity, and historically specific elements in the socially constructed forms of time that reflect the material conditions of the particular society in which they appear. It suggests, moreover, that he shows how time is shaped by both human agency, in the form of class struggle over the appropriation and control of time, as well by deterministic forces as seen in the role of institutional structures and the movement and reproduction of capital. Again, it endeavours to show that Marx develops the notion that absolute time, which is an historically specific concept, plays a crucial role in capitalist society as a measure of exchange-value and labour time, and that it co-exists with relative time, which emanates through different production processes as multiple and discontinuous temporalities. It further argues that Marx saw capitalist society as giving rise to an historical time that is universal and directional, and that is changing in its nature in response to changes in ++ / methods and relations of production.More generally, this thesis attempts to demonstrate that Marx's ideas about historical time have the inherent ability to transcend their place and time to be relevant to contemporary historical interpretation. Such an approach, it suggests, can help historians to understand the operation of historical time in the different phases of the development of capitalist society, the nature and functioning of temporal logics of non-capitalist societies, and how changes in the forms of time occur within and between different social forms. Above all, it argues that his concept of time is highly relevant to the interpretation of history in the postmodern phase of capitalist development and that, indeed, his idea of time both shares a number of similarities with Michel Foucault's idea about time, as well as goes beyond such an explanation.
