The tomb of Karl Marx inscribed with the 11th thesis on Feuerbach on the bottom.

Philosophy[a] is the study of things which seeks to understand their essence through deductive reasoning, finding their origins and causes and in this seeking to understand how to view the world and act accordingly. The philosophy of Marxism is dialectical materialism.[2]

"Philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it"Karl Marx, Theses on Feuerbach
