Abstract

This work examines Marx’s attitude toward human rights, finding that Marx distrusted human rights. Marx’s work, “On the Jewish Question,” will be used to further analyze the argument which has been made in this paper. Firstly, this work will include a literature review of Steven Lukes’ opinion on the topic, followed by Bauer’s original opinion about the Jewish Question and Marx’s response. Secondly, this article is about the concepts of Political Emancipation and Human Emancipation, discussed by Marx in the article On the Jewish Question. The conclusion is that the limited result of political emancipation and human rights only apply to individual rights and cannot, therefore, achieve the social nature of emancipation. This research paper could further explain the different attitudes about human rights language in capitalist and communist countries.
