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 introduces students to that work and thinker, focusing particularly on the genre of the work, the cultural and historical context, and some of the key themes.
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
