Since the publication of numerous manuscripts in the 1800s, there has been speculation and debate over whether Karl Marx is a determinist or a theorist of free will. Although both speeches make very valid points and observations, the works of Karl Marx stand alone as theories of free will. Many scholars and other observers who assert and assert that Marxism is deterministic often refer largely to Marx's words on economics and its surrounding field. “Deterministic Marxism views the economy as the element within society that is responsible for how society is organized, and that the distribution of ownership over the economy influences how change occurs over time. time in a given society. This is, above all, what defines a model of Marxism as deterministic: the idea that all social change and the structure of all society are caused or determined by the distribution of the economy. (Taylor) In this dialogue course, Marx's work is seen as speculations and possible reasons for certain patterns observed throughout history, but he concretizes the idea of ​​these patterns in such a way that they are finite and do not lend themselves to change or modification. Conversely, an opposing discourse asserts and concludes that Marx is a theorist of free will, therefore not relying on the apparent façade of permanence of historical models that determinists view as omnipresent and permanent. If others believe that Marx is deterministic, it is because the passages or evidence they find in Marx's are taken out of context and take on a different meaning, deviating from the aim and purpose. original idea that Marx transmitted. is found in Ma...... middle of paper ......agency, free will and thought, which are not considered in deterministic schools of thought. However, Marx recognizes the fact that there are patterns and trends that can emerge, but he also recognizes and demonstrates that they are not always guaranteed to continue. If this were so, then the history of the world would be decided very early, from its creation, and would never change, which is clearly not the case.
