A sociedade civil e o jovem Marx

This article tries to make clear the assumptions which Marx, in his Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, uses to criticize the Hegelian conception of the “idealistic mistification of the State”. Aided by Feuerbach’s diagnosis of the subject-predicate inversion, Marx points the speculative interest in the presentation of the State as the final resolution of the civil society’s conflicts. Our task is to delimitate the difficulties Young Marx finds when he deals with the anthropological character of the new “concrete subject” he postulates from that time on.
