Marx's Theses on Feuerbach (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/theses/theses.htm)come to us in a happenstance kind of way.
Marx did not publish the "Theses on Feuerbach" during his lifetime; they were later edited by Friedrich Engels and published in 1888, with the original text emerging in 1924. They seem to have been intended as a note on principles which Marx wished to write out once, clearly, as a reminder to himself; the text may actually have been hung above his writing-desk.
Wikipedia on the Theses. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theses_on_Feuerbach)
The most famous is the eleventh: The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.
Marxists.org has a study guide on it. (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/theses/guide.htm) Anyone interested in looking at the questions???
