Marx: nature and merchandise

Abstract

The works of the classic authors Marx and Engels made a historical emphasis on the social dimension as an intersubjective problematic. This text aims to demonstrate that the main reason for this evident issue is that the society-nature antagonism was not a fully realized reality when it was originally published. At the present however, a holistic interpretation is imperative from the logic of an ideal Marxist totality, particularly from the concept of merchandise. The article projects Marxism, without prior revisions, to validate itself as a philosophy of practice that incorporates what is human and what is not.
