Marx's critique of rights in On the Jewish Question and The Critique of the Gotha Programme

Introduction

Marx wrote about a 30 pages long script (actually a review) from October to December 1843, after working on an unpublished manuscript sheets that he completed in his lifetime, the later under the title Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right published. At first he was in Kreuznach, In June 1843, he married Jenny von Westphalia, and spent October in Paris for his honeymoon. The paper deals with two texts published in 1843 by Bauer apart.
