The importance of activity in Hegel ( Marx's practice in the Theses on Feuerbach )

<


For Andy Blunden, Hegel's entire systematic philosophy is best understood through the lens of human activity, which is an aggregate of actions that are socially and historically and culturally situated. <


For Andy Blunden, reading Hegel through human activity is a corrective to misinterpretations of his philosophy as purely "objective idealist". By focusing on activity, Blunden argues that Hegel provides a theory of social action, where ideas and practice are intrinsically linked. This focus on activity, rather than abstracted thoughts or behaviors, is what allows Hegel's system to be understood as a philosophy of actual human development and social change.
