Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show, from the philosophical and dialectical conception of Karl Marx, how the notions of progress, liberty and subject have been developed throughout Western History. According to Marx, those notions arose together with the private appropriation of Nature that began with the dissolution of the so-called primitive community and the emergence of ancient slavery. These notions continued to develop along the European Middle Ages and reached their peak with the appearance of the wage worker imposed by modern capitalism. The article also aims to show the difference between Marx’s materialistic conception and Hegel’s teleological conception (which reflects about History in terms of a great theodicy moving towards liberty and rationality) and the ways by which Marx inverted this mystified conception of History.Downloads
