Metodologia Hegelo-marxiana e centralidade do trabalho

Abstract

This paper attempts to demonstrate the radical inseparability between method and content in the social and political philosophy of Marx, particularly around its appropriation of the Hegelian methodology. Following Flickinger’s interpretation, the first part of the paper aims to articulate this appropriation from a set of mainly topics of Marx’s philosophy. In the second part, the paper focuses in a concept absolutely fundamental in both Hegel and Marx, namely: the concept of labor. Thus, the present paper aims to develop the systematic function of this concept in the working out of Hegel's system, and its implications in the social and political philosophy of the Author. Forthwith, we make a reconstitution of Marx's critique to this theory of labor and we indicate some ways that the social and political philosophy of Marx look like to the Hegelian philosophy, particularly around the tensions that emerge in a society that the work was raised to the status of source of wealth at the same time those who work and produce cannot enjoy it.
