Abstract

Marx’s articles on freedom and necessity have aroused great interest and substantive debate, especially in volume III of Das Kapital. It is worth noting that fundamental questions of revolutionary change are at the core of these debates. For Marx, systemic contradictions in any given mode of production were bound to lead to revolutionary shifts. Within capitalism, for example, the contradictions between the productive forces and the relations of production develop to the point where the proletariat becomes aware of their alienated existence and subsequently overthrows the exploiting ruling class.
