PRIVATE PROPERTY AND FREEDOM IN HEGEL AND MARX

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The present article intends to discuss the existent relationships between the private property and Freedom in Hegel and Marx. In Hegel, the private property is constituted in expression of the individual's liberty on his finished and effective form, once that it has an essential connection with the concept of person. Through the property, the person’s free will is exercised as absolute disposition on the thing. In Marx, however, the capitalist private property is not revealed as the accomplishment of freedom, but just as a certain historical way of production, endowed with limits and contradictions that are established in the agent's simultaneous position/deposition that operates the production, of the men in his objective activity. The freedom being redundant in the capital world, in its opposite, as we see, especially, inside the relationship between capital and labor. KEY WORDS: Marx. Hegel. Private property. Freedom. .
