Marx and Class Tülin Öngen This article intends to propose a theoretical insight into the marxist class analysis. Therefore, it mainly attempts to indicate the distinctiveness of Marxist class theory, through an examination of most contraversial themes attributed to the Marx’s own writings. The investigation then proceeds on the basis of a combined assessment of the status of class and the notion of class distinguished by Marx in his works. Such an assessment covers two facets: The first is the examination of the chief motives which dominate over Marx’s approach to the class, while the second is the clarification of criterions which are applied by him to recognize the class as a specific category. With respect to the first point it might be concluded that the class in every moment is concieved by Marx not only as a philosophical subjet but also as a sociological and political subject. Indeed he attributed to the proletariat a very special historical mission to emancipate the human spicies from all kinds of oppression through abolishing the private ownership and alienation. But with respect to the second point, it appears to be more complicated to remark such an opinion since it is commonly thought that the theory still remains uncompleted particularly concerning the question of praxis. For instance it is claimed that Marx doesn’t give any satisfactory answer how working class can realize this transformative role however he recognizes it as a revolutionary agent... Due to these considerations it is presently argued that Marxist class theory needs further elaborations. But this article suggests that the question of praxis should be rather respected as a matter of social process which is firmly formed by the concious and organized activites of the classes and their pioneers , than a matter of theory.
