Social praksis som frigørelse - Karl Marx i den danske offentlighed, 1844-45

Marx’s discovery of the proletariat as the main agent of emancipatory practice in modern society not only signified a novel conception of sociopolitical activity, but was also an important intervention in the historical reconfiguration of politics and political activity in pre-1848 Europe. This article studies such new configurations of socio-political activity through specific Danish receptions and uses of Marx’s early writings from 1844 and 1845.
