Suicide and Individuality in Karl Marx
Marx. Suicide. Individuality
This work aims to examine the human individuality involved in the phenomenon of suicide from the perspective of Karl Marx. Many interpreters conceive the essay On Suicide (2006) as an untimely text by Marx. However, it seeks to problematize that it is not a writing that presents disagreement with the whole of this philosopher's work, starting, among other aspects, with the literary style used. Furthermore, there are also epigones who strive to produce the image of an economistic Marx, who would have dissolved human subjectivity in strictly economic processes. In contrast to these readings, it is intended to demonstrate the philosopher's heuristic concern about human individuality and its implication in the phenomenon of suicide, based on the debate on alienation, detachment, patriarchy and loneliness
