Notes on the “inversion” in Marx

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to inquire about the meaning given by Marx to the inversion category. As it knows, Marx said that he inverted the hegelian dialectics to extract its rational node. Thus we intend to examine if the meaning this of category is the same or if it suffers any transformation in different moments of Marx´s works. For this, we investigated books that refer distinct moments of his intellectual trajectory to stress the polissemia that the inversion gets when we confront texts of different period. For this, we are based on hypothesis according to which Marx introduces distinct content to the category whether we get the texts from the beginning of his intellectual production (The Philosophical-economic Manuscripts); whether we inquire his most important work (The Capital).
