I haven't read Marx in I don't know how long, and without context I'll have some fun with this.
"As individuals express their life, so they are. What they are, therefore, coincides with their production, both with what they produce and with how they produce. The nature of individuals thus depends on the material conditions determining their production."
As individuals express their life, so they are.
You are what you do.
What they are, therefore, coincides with their production both with what they produce and with how they produce.
You are what you make/work on.
The nature of individuals thus depends on the material conditions determining their production.
What you are is dependent on your work enviroment.
Sounds like he is going into the plight of the workers here, or is still going on, as again I have this out of context. Since I do not define myself by my work I find it a false concept, at least for me.
