- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 - November 14, 1831) Prominent figure of German idealism, revolutionizing European philosophy with its conception of reality, was an important precursor of continental philosophy and marxism.
- Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach (July 28, 1804 - September 13, 1872) A student of Hegel, and German anropologist best known for his criticism of Christianism, who influenced generations of thinkers, including Karl Marx and Friedrick Engels.
- Friedrich Engels (Barmen, November 28, 1820 - London, August 5, 1895) Economist, German philosopher and politician, founded with Karl Marx's historical materialism and dialectical materialism.
- Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818 - March 14, 1883), a contemporary of Hengels, was a German philosopher, economist, sociologist, and journalist, socialist revolutionary. In economics he laid e foundation for understanding e relationships between capital and labor, greatly influencing the economic thinking. Among many books published the most important is the Communist Manifesto (1848) and Capital (1867-1894).
Various attempts to apply the philosophies of these philosophers, imposed both by law or by violence did restrain upon human freedom, and have generally led to genocides, massacres and various aberrations. Someone say that, while causing disasters, they prompted reactions wich led to generalized positive changes in society.
Today, however, certain theories appear obsolete, outdated and inadequate as a manual mechanical calculator compared to a spreadsheet, and the technological progress has annihilated their possibility of application, turning them into pure intellectual exercise for specialists.
In contrast, ABSOLUTE HELP AND ALWAYS PRESENT ARE the Synoptic Gospels, WITH THE JESUS CHRIST TEACHINGS. In fact, EVERY change must be made FREELY in the soul of every man, and cause intellectual attitudes and inclinations that push every individual to act for the good. In this way a whole society can change and orientate to the best, achieving the common good whatever are the changes induced by technological progresses, without violating freedoms of nobody.
Others claim that the positive changes in society are due to technological innovations and markets globalization, and that philosophers got to do like cabbage. And probably for the most part they are right, unless you are talking of real technical economists.

Note to the reader,
I recently changed my password with a stronger one after experiencing changes in what I had written. The 'th' were deleted from the text and the html code, so width became 'width', the arthicle became 'e' and so on. Many sentences have been changed by introducing pleonasms and grammatical errors. I've found this all along mysite so I'm reviewing everything and I do not have time to add new things. Excuse me
