El ser humano como ser supremo y la dialéctica antropológica del método de Marx

Abstract

Contemporary critical thinking is no longer working around the same presuppositions on which Marxist and left-wing critical thought of the 20th century was built. It points, above all, to the proposal for solutions to the political impasse on the left. The thought that Franz Hinkelammert has been developing in recent years is a great example of what we can do for the sake of building this new thought. Upon this line, the present essay elaborates on three hypotheses that are sustained as a product of the dialogue with Hinkelammert, Marx, with E. Bloch and W. Benjamin. The first has to do with the implicit assumptions that are taken in the anthropology arisen with modernity. The second has to do with the modern secularization of the myths assumed in the anthropologies in modernity. And the third hypothesis tries to situate the place that this type of anthropological reflection has within the dialectic, both of Hegel, of Marx, and of the possible idea of dialectic that could be developed from the latter.
