Marx through Masaryk's Prism - Three probes into The Social Question

The essay follows Masaryk's interpretation and criticism of Marxism in three steps. The first step is concerned with the opinions of Masaryk and Marx on modem civil society: the reciprocal relations between politics, business, morality, interest-plurality and the whole picture. The second point compares Marx's and Masaryk's understanding of history, historicism and progress. Finally, the third step includes the thoughts of both concerning the topic of Revolution discourse. The essay makes a comparative examination of the appropriateness of Masaryk's critique and interpretation, and at the same time examines the relevant questions of the topic groups; as well as the thinking patterns of both theorists.
