Marx and Engels'Interdisciplinary Study of Literature and Philosophy
The fundament of Marxist philosophy was that social economic basis determined and restricted ideology of"legal and polit-ical superstructure"and"of religion,art and philosophy".This social history theory is derived from the anatomy of social and economic structure.Thus,the analysis of relationship between literature and philosophy was less than that of the relationship between literature and economics.However,Marx and Engels analyzed the relationship between literature and philosophy more during the transition period from the Young Hegelians to Communism.The profound point of Marx's analysis of literature and philosophy lay in the elimination of alienation of labor and regarded the enjoyment of human body and mind in aesthetics as uni-versality.In his literary criticism of his youth,Engels analyzed the influence of Hegel's philosophy on many contemporary writers,and later he also mentioned literature and philosophy together.
