Alienation, Humanism and Freedom. Heidegger and Marx in the Humanism of Carlos Astrada

Keywords: existentialism, humanism, freedom, marxism, praxis

Abstract

This paper is based on the concept of Freedom Humanism by Carlos Astrada, understood as the principal axis between Marx and Heidegger's thoughts. This joint is raised by the author as a natural confluence since both thinkers belong to the philosophy of praxis. Nevertheless, if we pay careful attention to the way in which Astrada understands and exposes the most proper facts of these thoughts, we can notice that this confluence does not refer to philosophy of praxis but to the history of philosophy and philosophy of history. Marx and Heidegger's confluence is to Astrada the task of both philosophy of history and history of philosophy: the only definitive exit from the closed system of Hegel's philosophy and idealism.
