Karl Marx and Ralf Dahrendorf: A Comparative Perspective on Class Formation and Conflict

Bu çalışma, klasik sosyal kuramcı Karl Marx ve çağdaş sosyal kuramcı Ralf Dahrendorf tarafından tanımlanan sınıf oluşumu ve çatışmayı ele almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bu iki sosyal teorisyenin sınıf oluşumu ve çatışma kuramlarındaki benzerlikler ve farklılıklar incelenmektedir. Bilindiği üzere, her iki kuramcı da aynı sosyolojik gelenek olan çatışma kuramının öncülerindedir. Marx'ın tartışmasız olarak, çatışma teorisinin kurucusu olduğunu söylemek pek yanlış olmaz. Ayrıca, hiç şüphe yoktur ki, Marxin çalışmalarının hemen hemen her alanda, çatışma kuramcısı olan Dahrendofu etkilediği ve çalışmalarının köşe taşı olduğu aşikardır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada aynı zamanda, Karl Marx'ın, Ralf Dahrendorfun sınıf oluşumu ve çatışma teorisi üzerindeki etkisi tartışılmıştır.

Karl Marx ve Ralf Dahrendorf: Sınıf Oluşumu ve Çatışma Üzerine Karşılaştırmalı Bir Bakış Açısı

This study addresses the concepts of class forma‐ tion and conflict as defined by the classical social theorist, Karl Marx and the contemporary social theorist, Ralf Dahrendorf. Both social theorists are pioneering members of the same sociological tradition called the conflict perspective. It is rather appropriate to indicate that Marx is the founding father of Conflict Theory and that his work had a strong influence on that of Dahren‐ dorf in almost every respect, providing Dahren‐ dorf with the stepping‐stones from which to build new theoretical ideas. Within this context, this study first outlines the concepts of both social theorists. Then it deals with what the two perspectives share in common and compares the differences between them. Finally, it discusses how Marx s theories influenced Dahrendorf.
