Marx’s idea that philosophy should be practical is, in my personal opinion, one of his better and more reasonable theories. The idea that philosophy should be more practical must have been around before Marx, it seems like such a simple request to be made. The traditional questions of philosophy, such as why are we here, where did we come from, as well as other things like is religion correct and how should we view the world to live the best lives all seem to be missing the point. What matters here and now is that a new more perfect system must be evolved through human thought, philosophy, to control and balance out the human imperfection. Ideally to leave us in not a state of bliss but a state of harmony, a balance between failure and success that leaves us aspiring and moral. Preferably without the need to destroy those who don’t agree. This type of system could probably never work, due to the fact that it would rely on trusting in the idea that no one will take advantage of the system, unfortunately this is the same problem Marx’s communism had and now we are left with the communism we know today and find oppressive.
