Answer 1

• He did not want merely to interpret reality he wanted to change it.Marx declared that philosophy must become reality. One could no longer be content with interpreting the world; one must be concerned with transforming it, which meant transforming both the world itself and human consciousness of it. This, in turn, required a critique of experience together with a critique of ideas.
• What uniquely characterizes the thought of Marx is that, instead of making abstract affirmations about a whole group of problems such as human nature, knowledge, and matter, he examines each problem in its dynamic relation to the others and, above all, tries to relate them to historical, social, political, and economic realities.
• I would say Marx certainly didn't only interpret the world. He was active for much of his life in the communist international, and advocated political actions and strategy as much as he theorised his critique of capitalism.
