Eleven Theses on Feuerbach by Karl Marx ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

Eleven Theses on Feuerbach by Karl Marx audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

Written in 1845, Karl Marx's Eleven Theses on Feuerbach is a compact, incendiary set of notes that helped pivot modern thought from interpreting the world to transforming it. Framed as a critique of the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach, Marx challenges the limits of earlier materialism and exposes what he sees as its central weakness: treating human beings as passive observers rather than active makers of history. Across eleven sharply worded theses, Marx argues that consciousness, religion, and ideas cannot be understood in isolation from real, everyday life - labor, social relations, and the concrete conditions in which people act. He insists that truth is tested in practice, that the 'essence' of humanity is not an abstract ideal but the ensemble of social relationships, and that philosophy must grapple with change, conflict, and collective action. Brief enough to hear in a single sitting but dense enough to revisit for years, this work serves as a gateway into Marx's developing worldview, introducing key themes of praxis, critique, and revolutionary responsibility that echo through his later writing.
