Karl Marx

I do find Marx's view on there being no noumena a bit refreshing. All this talk about what you see not being real and only a perception was giving me a headache! "the idea is in the real" and "the self is not merely a conciousness" are phrases that make me comfortable because I don't have to think to abrstractly. This way I can take everything to face value and don't have to wonder if that chair is really a chair. On the other hand, I don't know how I feel about Humans being just producers. If it is like this we might as well be ants.
