Two Day Night School on German Ideology - Day 2

The German Ideology joint work of Marx and Engles was written between 1845 and 1846. This was the period when Marxism was finally evolved as the scientific world outlook of the revolutionary proletariat. Marx and Engels had arrived at the decisive stage in working and the philosophical principles of scientific communism.

It was in the German Ideology that the materialist conception of history, “Historical materialism”, was first formulated as an integral theory.  Engels said later that this theory, which uncovered the genuine laws of social development and revolutionised the science of society, embodied the first of Marx great discoveries (the second being the law of surplus value) which played the main role in transforming socialism from Utopia in to a science.  The German ideology is in effect the first mature work of Marxism.
German Ideology unveils the holistic vision of Marxism, the science of revolution.  Still only a few academic and activists could read this important book.  That is why we decided to organise a book reading session on that book.  Booking reading and discussion is scheduled in two sessions on January 3rd and 4th at Lamakaan, Hyderabad, Timing 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm. 

Sri K.V.Rao, a reader in Marxism who is trying to apply Marxism to history and contemporary issues will hold this discussion.
