Marx's critique to the "Rights of man and of the citizen" on the essay On the jewish question

Abstract

This article is about Karl Marx’s critique of the liberal view of human rights – specially the right to freedom, property, equality and safety – declared by the bourgeois revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries, on the essay “On the Jewish question”. Taking Marx’s reflection on the essay as a starting point, it analyses the author’s critiques of the political emancipation and the “rights of man and of the citizen” limits, as well as it’s distinction from the human emancipation.
