A
broad framework applying Marxist analysis to all disciplines studying human
life—history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and more. Marxist Human Sciences examine how modes of production shape human consciousness, how class relations structure human experience, and how human liberation requires transforming both
society and self. They draw on Marx's early writings on alienation, his later critiques of political economy, and subsequent Marxist traditions in
philosophy, psychology, and cultural theory. Marxist Human Sciences insist that understanding humans requires understanding the societies that make us, and that changing those societies is part of becoming fully human.
"
Capitalism makes us see ourselves as isolated individuals competing for scarce resources. Marxist Human Sciences ask: is that human nature, or
capitalism's nature? Could we be different in a different
society? The human sciences study humans; Marxist human sciences study how humans are made and remade by history. Not just describing what we are, but asking what we could become."
