A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
Book •
Written in 1843, this work critiques Hegel's philosophy of right, particularly its justification of the state and existing social structures.
Marx argues that religion is a protest against real suffering, but it also provides an illusory happiness, diverting attention from the need for social change.
He suggests that critiquing religion is essential for understanding and transforming the material conditions that generate it.
The essay emphasizes the importance of practical action and revolution to overcome alienation and achieve human emancipation.
It is considered one of Marx's early works, laying the groundwork for his later economic and political theories.
