The sort of materialism inaugurated by Marx is commonly defined as “critical materialism”. In this paper I shall raise the question whether this definition is sufficient to capture the whole meaning of Marx concept of materialism. I want to show why the formula “materialism of second nature” is more appropriate to the intended program of Marx than the formula “critical materialism”? To answer this question, we begin to take a closer look at some general characteristics of Hegel’s theory of second nature that forms the basis of the Marxian concept of materialism.
