Marx's theory of human nature

Marx's theory of human nature has an important place in his critique of capitalism, his conception of communism, and his 'materialist conception of history'. Marx, however, does not refer to ""human nature"" as such, but to Gattungswesen, which is generally translated as 'species-being' or 'species-essence'. What Marx meant by this is that humans are capable of making or shaping their own nature to some extent. According to a note from the young Marx in the Manuscripts of 1844, the term is derived from Ludwig Feuerbach’s philosophy, in which it refers both to the nature of each human and of humanity as a whole.[1] However, in the sixth Thesis on Feuerbach (1845), Marx criticizes the traditional conception of ""human nature"" as ""species"" which incarnates itself in each individual, on behalf of a conception of human nature as formed by the totality of ""social relations"". Thus, the whole of human nature is not understood, as in classical idealist philosophy, as permanent and universal: the species-being is always determined in a specific social and historical formation, with some aspects being biological.
