ABSTRACT The article argues that in order to grasp fully Brazilian and Korean post-WWII developmental and growth experiences, it is first necessary to account for global-economy dynamics and the transformations in the International Division of Labour. These, together with local factors that particularly affect the objective conditions for the valorisation of capital in different productive sectors, explain the specific characteristics … Read more

From the ideal reproduction of an ideal process to the ideal reproduction of a real process]. Praxis Filosófica, (41), 81–112

ABSTRACT

This article examines the connection between Hegel’s and Marx’s respective dialectical methods in the light of the recent Marxist debates on the subject matter. It argues that the development of the Marxian critique of political economy cannot uncritically appropriate the content or the form of Hegel’s dialectical method. More specifically, the article submits that there is a “rational kernel” in Hegel’s work, which can be found in his discovery of self-movement as the simplest form taken by the real. However, insofar as he takes a pure thought-form as point of departure, which, moreover, results from an act of absolute abstraction, the aforementioned “rational kernel” becomes expounded under a “mystical shell”. As a consequence, his dialectic remains external to the movement of the real concrete.
