I find it interesting that theirs philosophers who are influenced equally by marx and Freud

@helenS he, erich fromm, herbert marcuse and I think Walter Benjamin

@Guitarman123 Yes, although I wouldn't call Fromm and Marcuse philosophers.

@helenS maybe you wouldn't but they are considered philosophers

@Guitarman123 I've read Marcuse's chapter on Wittgenstein in his "One-Dimensional Man", and it was so extremely embarrassing. And that guy is/was a hero of the political left...

@helenS I'm not that familiar with his work but relitively familiar with fromm

@Guitarman123 I've read some books by left-wing philosophers in the past when I still thought they've got something meaningful to say.
Dr. Marx, by the way, stopped doing "philosophy" and started analyzing the modern liberal society instead.

@helenS he did and turned his attention to obviously economy which he believed would help have a greater understanding of society and the inner contradictions of capitalism. Guy debord is another important left wing writer

@Guitarman123 Guy who???

@helenS he wrote the society of the spectacle

@Guitarman123 Oh he was French!

@helenS indeed
