Karl Marx on Bourgeoisie - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 517 Bourgeoisie/Marx/Habermas: Marx developed his dialectical concept of ideology using the example of 18th century bourgeois culture. These ideals of education (...) had entered into the self-image and private way of life of the bourgeoisie and a bourgeois nobility as well as into the principles of state order. Marx has recognized the ambivalent content of bourgeois culture. >Ideology, >Bourgeoisie, >Society, >Culture. In its claims to autonomy and scientificity, individual freedom and universalism, to unconditional, radical self-revelation, on the one hand is the result of cultural rationalization; without the backing of the authority of tradition it is sensitive to criticism and self-criticism. On the other hand, however, the normative content Habermas IV 518 cannot only serve their abstract and unhistorical ideas, which go beyond social reality, and it can not only serve to guide a critically changing, but also the idealistic transfiguration of an affirmative, practice. This utopian-ideological double character of bourgeois culture has been repeatedly worked out from Marx to Marcuse(1). >Autonomy, >Freedom, >Rationalization, >H. Marcuse. 1. H.
