In the history of philosophy we see before us the consecutive forms
of the thoughts of the ruling classes of society on life and on the
world at large. This class thought appears after the primitive
communism has given way to a society with class antagonisms, at a
stage when the wealth of the members of the ruling class gave them
leisure time and thus stimulated them to turn their attention to
the productions of the mind. The beginning of this thought is found
in classic Greece. But it assumed its clearest and best developed
form when the modern bourgeoisie had become the ruling class in
capitalistic Europe and the thinkers gave expression to the ideas
of this class. The characteristic mark of these ideas is dualism,
that is to say the misunderstood contrast between thinking and
being, between nature and spirit, the result of the mental
unclearness of this class and of its incapacity to see the things
of the world in their true interconnection. This mental state is
but the expression of the division of mankind into classes and of
the uncomprehended nature of social production ever since it became
a production of goods for exchange.
