PERBANDINGAN ANTARA PEMIKIRAN KARL MARX DENGAN PEMIKIRAN J. KRISHNAMURTI TENTANG PERUBAHAN SOSIAL

Abstract

Social change is definite. The question is how soon it will take place, whether it will go in a positive or negative direction, and in what mode it will happen. Karl Marx believed that a new society is created through a social revolution. On the contrary, J. Krishnamurti proposed an inward revolution. It is interesting to compare these two ideas. Marx said that contradiction between the powers of production will provoke a social revolution. As for Krishnamurti, a social revolution without altering the soul will not alter human suffering. Which is prominent: social revolution or inward revolution? Valuable inspirations can be gained from comparing the two.
