Particularidade e universidade na apresentação da História por Marx

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the problem of history in Marx, emphasizing the class struggle as the engine of history and the central role of work and consciousness in its development. It highlights the contradictory relationship between work and consciousness, showing how material conditions guide the perception of history, as well as how history impacts on material conditions. History is presented as a dialectical process, in which past, present and future are interconnected. In addition, the concept of alienated labor in capitalist society is discussed, in which workers are separated from the fruits of their labor. The importance of class consciousness is highlighted as a crucial element for social transformation, despite the limitations imposed by the dominant ideology. The text seeks to understand these relationships based on a concrete historical analysis made by Marx himself, the analysis of the French historical situation in 1848, from which Marx shows the contradictions between consciousness and historical fact.
