O método dialético na teoria social de Marx: pesquisa conscienciosa e demorada

Abstract

This article is the result of a reflection developed after the qualification of our PhD project, in the Department of Graduate Education at the University of Brasilia, and aims to analyze how Marx consigned the theoretical presuppositions of his method in four of his writings: the Poverty of Philosophy (1847) especially the first paragraph of chapter 2, the method; Introduction (1857); Preface (1859) of the Critique of Political Economy; and the postscript to the second edition of Capital (1873). The guiding principle for the construction of this analysis was the itinerary of Marx studies, consigned by himself, in the Preface of 1859. This reflection was the beginning of a reckoning with my academic background, whose dominant theoretical assumptions were those which prioritized the fragmented and apparent vision of the social phenomena.
