A presença de Feuerbach nos manuscritos de 1844 de Marx

Abstract

This paper has as its central reference to Rodrigo Alckmin’s Master degree thesis defended at UFMG’s Graduate Program in Philosophy, in 2003: Feuerbach and Marx – from sensitivity to sensitive activity. Alckmin’s work fits into a broader project, coordinated by Professor José Chasin, who sought to reconstruct Marx’s initial steps, through reading and analyzing drafts, letters, articles and books from the period between 1841 and 1847. The studies carried out within this project make reference to the 1995 publication “Marx: ontological status and methodological resolution”, in which Chasin systematized his research results, which pointed to the need for further study of certain authors and themes that marked the Marx’s intial work. It is therefore in order to understand the influence of Feuerbach in the initial process of Marx's formulation that Alckmin elects the author of “Principles of the Future of Philosophy” as a subject of research. Since the goal of this paper is to specifically demonstrate Feuerbach’s presence in the 1844 Manuscripts, part of the analysis, developed within the same project, will be covered as it pertains to the dissertation on “The Lebensäusserung Entdusserung, Entfremdung and Veräusserung Categories in Karl Marx’s 1844 Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts”, in which Feuerbach’s sensitivity is directly shown. Research results presented in three papers – Chasin (1995), Alckmin (2003), and Hallak (1999) –confirm the decisive presence of Feuerbach in the constitution of the Marxian itinerary, and point out the differences between the two authors, differences that can already be identified in the 1844 manuscript.
