Abstract

This paper first tries to show that beneath the superficial differences between Marx and Heidegger, there are structural similarities in their thought that manifest themselves in a double critique. The reason for this lies in the common knowledge of both philosophers that the foundations of theory lie in the everyday experience of living and creating. Secondly, Heidegger and Marx also share an emphasis on the concept of praxis. Although one tends towards individuality and the other towards sociability, their concepts of praxis are not opposed but complementary. With the help of Marcuse’s analysis, we see again that Heidegger’s ontologisation and neutralisation of praxis leads him in a sense to return to the “theorising” of philosophy that he himself strongly criticised. And therein lies the possibility of going beyond Heidegger by returning to Marx.
