A ideologia alemã: teoria, método e crítica historiográfica nas origens do materialismo histórico

Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze the influence of German Ideology, a manuscript by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that was abandoned by the authors shortly after it was written (1845- 1846) but which became decisive for understanding the Marxist perspective of history. Through the biographical study of Marx (and, in part, Engels) in the period between 1843 and 1848 and the debate on the philology of the historical-critical editions (MEGA1, MEW and MEGA2), we understand that the manuscripts provided a systematized conception of analysis of historically constituted society, critically dialoguing with essential concepts for the academic History that has been produced until then, whose greatest impact will be throughout the entire 20th century, contributing to a better reach of the perspective of historical materialism, renewing it and not abandoning it -o with signaling some theorists.
