Dialectic in marx: a perspective from its central elements

Abstract

This article analyzes the dialectical method developed by Karl Marx. A major difficulty in studying the Marxian conception of the dialectic is due to the fact that the author did not write a book about this specific topic. The objective is to focus on the dialectical method of Marx from two main analysis. First, pointing the criticism and recognition of the Hegelian dialectic, especially for aspects that differentiate the Marxian method from the Hegelian method. Then analyzing the construction of the Marxian dialectical method from its central elements (perpetual movement, historicity, totality, contradiction, determination and historical materialism). The purpose of this task is to comprehend this method from these explicative principles, and do not define it so closed and exhaustive. However, it is possible to attempt an explicative synthesis through the idea of the real concreteness as a point of departure and arrival of the dialectic in Marx – considered together with its explicative principles.
