Revisitando uma polêmica: a noção de ‘determinismo’ no materialismo histórico (uma exposição das alternativas teóricas)

Abstract

This article aims to conduct a discussion about the notion of Determinism in the various theoretical developments of the Historic Materialism, since the works of Marx and Engels until some recent authors. Some of the theoric positions referred to the problem of the Determinism in the Marxist tradition are compared, in order to offer a great view of the several alternatives to face the challenge to rethinking the Historic Materialism in new basis.
