O conceito de trabalho na filosofia de Hegel e alguns aspectos de sua recepção em Marx

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the concept of work (Arbeit) in Hegel s philosophy, by emphasizing some aspects of its reception in Marx. In order to do so, in the first place, the argumentation focuses to explicit the place and the role of the concept of work in Hegel s system pointing out the problems that it aims to solve and the influence that Hegel has had to develop a concept of work in a positive sense, for which the modern world, especially the political economy, has a special contribution. Secondly, the concept of work is examined with the purpose to clarify the meaning of the classic Hegelian formulation according to which the work forms (bildet). This is analyzed in the sphere of the Subjective Spirit, which discusses the forming dimension of work in relation to the individual as well in the sphere of the Objective Spirit, in which the forming dimension of work in his relation to the humankind is cleared. Nevertheless, to clarify this dimension demands to revisit his speculative structure as it appears in the Logic. However, if the work assumes this forming dimension, Marx ads that can succeed the opposite, in other words, it can also deform the human being, and that appears under the heading of the negative face of work or of the problem of alienation. This point is examined in the third moment, which aims to explain the Hegelian treatment of this problem. Finally, on the basis of the arguments presented, this search intends to expose some arguments on which basis it is possible to think the actuality of the concept work.
