The dialectic as scientific form of exposition

Abstract

The aim of this work is to point out the specific characters that present Marx’s conception of the dialectic as scientific form of exposition. In order to it we distinguish the conception of the dialectic that appears in his writings of youth from the one that appears in his mature work, and we show that in the latter the dialectic is not referred to the historical development, but to the theoretical exposition of the developed capitalist system. Then we deal with the issue of the succession order of the categories as essential constituent element of the dialectical method, as well as the role of the contradiction in the dialectical exposition. Finally we analyze the fundamental aspects of the way in which are articulated
the dialectic and the critique.
