"If from a philosophical point of view one considers the evolution of individuals in the common conditions of existence of the estates and classes, which followed on one another and in the accompanying general conceptions forced upon them, it is certainly very easy to imagine that in these individuals the species, or 'man', has evolved, or that they evolved 'man' - and in the way one can give history some hard clouts on the ear...This subsuming of the individuals under definite classes cannot be abolished until a class has taken shape, which has no longer any particular classes to assert against the ruling class (Marx and Engels 22)."
This is where the reading through me off because Marx and Engels has a individual defined in a certain way. I am having trouble as to what defines an individual according to Marx and Engels. What does the individual have to do within the bourgeoisie and the proletariat?
