RESUMO:

The preoccupation with Man [Mensch] is very present in Marx's youth writings. He finds to establish a concept that accounts for what can be called human essence [menschliche Wesen] or species-being [Gattungswesen]. As this concept also contains what the human being isn’t yet, or rather, what the human being is only potentially, it seems to be an a priori concept. Therefore, this concept isn’t strictly linked to materialistic data and aspects, as Marx wants us to believe when he says that his theory must be based on “real premises” that can be “verified in a purely empirical way” (MARX & ENGELS, 2010d, p. 31). This difficulty, however, isn’t restricted to Marx's youth work. In the Grundrisse, for example, he explicitly uses the expression “species-being [Gattungswesen]”. In Capital, on more than one occasion, he uses the term “human nature [menschliche Natur]”. Furthermore, at various moments in his mature work, Marx continues to treat social and economic reality as divided into two areas, namely, the scope of appearance [Schein] and the scope of essence [Wesen], thus resuming fundamental categories of metaphysics, without which, perhaps, his critique of political economy wouldn’t have been possible. Given this, it is possible to formulate the following questions: what’s the place of the concept of man in Marx's mature work? To what extent is this concept related to the problem of the human essence of youth works? Even he declares himself to be a materialist thinker, wouldn’t Marx still be a tributary of metaphysics because he doesn’t completely abandon certain concepts and categories specific to that form of thought? Nevertheless, does this not appear as a problem within your new [materialist] conception of the world, which is established precisely to oppose the many idealistic conceptions of your time? Thus, it appears that Marx's theoretical endeavor isn’t just based on scientific grounds, and as far move away as possible from the terrain of metaphysics. The object of this research, therefore, is the concept of man in Marx's work, which ends up unfolding in a reflection on some aspects of the relationship between science and metaphysics. Thus, the analysis of that concept is only the first step trying to point critically to other metaphysical aspects of his theory.
