Abstract

Karl Marx (1818-1883) writes the essay On the Jewish Question in order to raise against the solution proposed by Bruno Bauer (1809-1882) concerning the relation between the Prussian state and the emancipation demands of the German Jewish people’s. According to Marx, the political emancipation, which is Bauer’s purpose, is insufficient for the human’s liberation as a real individual, rid of alienation; To this end, what must be claimed is the human emancipation. Based on that, our article discusses the fundamental distinctions and limits between the political and human emancipation. Following these discussions, we intend to develop the thesis on the insufficiency of political emancipation when it comes to overcome of the contradictions in which humans live. Contrarily to what Bauer and the Jewish think, by claiming a democratic-bourgeois, one must not expect to overcome religion positively and undeniably. Key words: political emancipation; human emancipation; young Marx
