About Ernst Bloch

Sources:

Bernhard Kukatzki about Ernst Bloch's ancestry (in German): http://www.alemannia-judaica.de/images/Images%20195/Ernst_Bloch_und...

Ernst Bloch (German: [%CB%88%C9%9B%CA%81nst ˈblɔx], July 8, 1885 – August 4, 1977) was a German Marxist philosopher.

Bloch was influenced by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Karl Marx, as well as by apocalyptic and religious thinkers such as Thomas Müntzer, Paracelsus, and Jacob Boehme.[1] He established friendships with György Lukács, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor W. Adorno. Bloch's work focuses on the thesis that in a humanistic world where oppression and exploitation have been eliminated there will always be a truly revolutionary force. Bloch has been called the greatest of modern utopian thinkers.[2]
