El revisionismo marxista de Adam Schaff (I) [The Marxist Revisionism of Adam Schaff (I),

  • A. Schaff's Marxism is placed in the context of the dogmatic institutionalization of Marxism in Stalinist Poland, where he was a professor of philosophy. In efforts to work toward a humanization of socialism under orthodox Marxism, the early works of Marx became relevant for the East Bloc countries and were examined by Schaff. Schaff held that there is no absolute truth, that truth is a process, and that only partial truth can be obtained. Schaff's interpretation of Marx is an anthropological one. He saw the world as >a product of human activity< and the perception of reality as based on social experience. He recognized that Marxism neglected the problematic of the individual and proposed a >speculative humanism,< similar to that of E. FROMM. Schaff's anthropological and existential approach, however, reduces the human being to a mere product of social relationships. An anthropology of the individual based solely on Marx is impossible. The philosophical debate over the individual versus society, socialism versus anarchism, or Marxism versus existentialism can only make progress by returning to the anthropological-ontological roots of G. Lukacs and M. Heidegger. S. Whittle.
