Un Marx gnostico. Bloch: "Karl Marx, la morte e l'apocalisse"

The need to elaborate a Marxian Critique of Practical Reason, which is still lacking, revolves around a reflection on the self. A socialist society only constitues the background, since, recalling Kandinsky’s idea of an «interior necessity», it is the experience that frees itself from the body to decide. While nature is marked by entropy, we are called to carry on life. In Bloch’s essay, together with the Messianic idea of a universal brotherhood, we find the gnostic sense of a story centred on the soul which, crossing metempsychosis, covers a path of deliverance.
