Abstract

I have considered Freedom and Necessity as fundamental literary and philosophical concepts in Karl Marx's early writing.

All Marx quotations are my own translations; I did this because I discovered that many English translations were rendered in such a way that they did not convey basic literary structures which were very important to a clear comprehension of Marx's thought.

The opening pages of this article are a necessary but brief discussion of words, which are specifically: Necessity, Freedom, and History. As these three words are the life and breath of Marx's thought, an observation of their meanings and history, in German, was the obvious place to begin in a consideration of the development of Marx's ideas.

The Marx quotations, and most of the Heine, are for the abovementioned reasons, my own translations. I have labored to present them according to their own words. No poetic liberties were allowed or taken. Where there may be a question or doubt about a particular word or phrase. I have included Marx's own German words in parentheses.
