Karl Marx
Can the view contributed to the field and study of sociology by Karl Marx be considered complete, well rounded and focused? Completeness or having all the necessary parts and elements, that also has a refined view can seem unrealistic to many Sociologist. Karl Marx Studied at the Universities of Bonn and Berlin in 1835-1841. He immersed himself later with the matriculation of history and philosophy. Marx also joined with the Young Hegelians. The Hegelians and Marx sought self-awareness of human consciousness with seeing basic challenges and change in a larger society, also the philosophical mind. Philosophical reason is to criticize existence. What exists is limited, always incomplete and openly rationally, according to Karl Marx’s view. (“…… would natural science be without industry and commerce? Even this “pure” natural science is provided with an aim, as with its material, only through trade and industry, through the sensuous activity of men. –Karl Marx (The German Ideology; New York edition thirty-six).
SCIENCE, SOCIOLOGY AND MARX Sociology is the study of groups of people. Karl Marx was a theorist who largely contributed to the study of sociology by purposing the Conflict Theory . The Conflict Theory is one of the major sociological models for understanding the social world. The Conflict Theory is constructed of three components: The first component is that conflict is a common and ongoing issue in the social world. The second component is that society is built on the conflicting morals and interests of many different social groups. Finally, the third component states that all social conflict occurs between dominant and subordinate social groups who are completing against one another for something they feel is a worthy cause. Marx believed that tension and conflict are the two theories that motivated people and effected how they behave. The conflict theory assumes that institutions and interactions within society foster inequality and competition
