Trabalho e totalidade social: o momento predominante da reprodução social na Ontologia de Lukács

Abstract

This thesis aims the systematic examination of the ontological category of the dominant moment of social reproduction in the Ontology of Lukacs. The main line that guides this research is oriented mainly in the analysis of labor as the founding category of social being and the categories of economy as the predominant moment in the world of men. The examination of the interaction that occurs between labor, the economy and all social complexes, as well as these determinations on the development of human individuals and society as a whole, allowed us to uncover some aspects of the fundamental ontological question which led Lukacs, after Marx, to explain it at length: the question of how, by what mediations, men make their own history. For Lukacs, the center of that discussion is labor as a founding category of the human world; the economy, as the complex that determines the content, shape, direction, rhythm, etc., social reproduction, in its practical implementation and that in relation the social totality is the predominant moment. And, social totality that, to the many mediations, demands, opportunities etc.. the reproduction of men, is the moment predominant it play is.
