O problema da desigualdade social na sociedade civil e a proposta de superação no estado hegeliano

Abstract

This article aims to explain, from the relation richness and poverty, how originates social inequality in the context of civil society in Hegel, as well as to understand how its overcoming in the scope of the Hegelian State occurs. In this work we start with an approach about the dynamics of wealth production in civil society and its implications for the origin of social inequality and poverty in this economic and social system. For this, we adopt as methodological procedure, the philosophical method of the author, which leads us to understand the movement of logical categories that goes from indeterminate and abstract to determinate and concrete. This is, therefore, the dialectical-speculative method developed by Hegel in his Science of Logic. In the continuity of our investigation we show that social inequality is the result of the concentration of wealth in civil society, whose immediate consequence is a picture of poverty and misery, where a significant part of the individuals of this society have their rights denied. Then adopt the hypothesis that the overcoming of this inequality is only possible, within the scope of the State where the balance of rights and duties is given.
