Karl Marx: what were his main theories?

Question

What has Karl Marx contributed to science?

please help,

thanks :)

Answer 1

Marx was an economist and a historian, not a scientist. He contributed little, if anything, to more traditional scientific fields. Such as Biology, Mathematics, Physics, etc...

He believed that economics and class struggle was a dominant role in history, and that societies evolved with their economic systems. He also believed that Socialism is a natural progression of Capitalism, improving on the shortcomings of Capitalistic systems.

That's the gist of it, haven't read any of his works in a while, you get to do the rest of the research yourself.

Answer 3

Marx believed that you should do your own homework.

here are some famous Marx quotations:

"I find television very educating.

Every time somebody turns on the set,

I go into the other room and read a book."

"Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others."

"Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"
