A relação trabalho-educação no pensamento de Marx: um estudo dos manuscritos econômico-filosóficos (1844)

Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate the relationship between labor and education in Marx’s thought, from a study of his Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844), specifically, the one entitled: Estranged Labor and Private Propriety. In This work, we present, initially, Marx’s debate with national economy and, consequently, his estrangement’s theory in the essence of labor [estranged labor] and, ultimately, the laboreducation relationship of this materialist thinker. During the development of this research, we have adopted as methodological procedure the reflexive-critic-dialectic method as a result of understanding that it allows us to better comprehend his manuscripts. At the end of this research, we have demonstrated that exists a profound relationship between labor and education in Marx’s thought because education ought to make it possible for man (worker) a direct relationship of recognition between labor (a vital, conscient and free activity) and production or, in other words, between workers and their production. In the capitalist society, such relationship, although, is presented as an estranged and hostile one, once the workers do not recognize themselves in their own production.
