A APORIA MARXIANA ACERCA DA QUESTÃO DO TRABALHO COMO CATEGORIA FUNDANTE DO SER SOCIAL

Abstract

This article intends to show that, in conceiving the category of work as the foundation of the social being, Marx is caught up in an aporia. This impasse is expressed to the extent that the philosopher understands work as a binding principle capable of establishing the link between political action and social production. In this sense, his thinking is in tune with the new idea of reason (poietics) that characterizes both modernity and contemporaneity. In other words, the philosopher submits human freedom to the dictates of the manufacturing rationality of appearing. For this reason, in this work, we will try to analyze the fact that, by aligning social production with political action through the category of work, Marx cannot overcome the imbalance generated from modernity in the fundamental unity of human reason. Imbalance that compromises your philosophical project for human emancipation.
