Marx — Theory vs Action (and After Marx) is a Digital Humanities project that transforms Karl Marx’s most vital question — should we interpret the world or change it? — into a data-driven exploration.

By quantifying Marx’s own emphasis on theory, action, and their unity as praxis, the project visualizes how this dialectic evolved after him — across revolutions, political movements, philosophical schools, and global transformations.

Through annotated texts, historical datasets, and dynamic visualizations, it reveals that the struggle between thinking and acting did not end with Marx — it became the rhythm of modern history itself.

Core Idea: History oscillates between revolution and reflection, but Marx’s true legacy lies in their synthesis — praxis — where thought becomes action and action becomes understanding.
