Abstract

This article presents a synthetic overview of the most influential interpretations of the Hegel-Marx connection, particularly as to whether the Hegelian legacy in Marx's "Capital" is of a methodological or ontological kind. After a brief ex position of classical Marxist approaches to the problem, contemporary contributions are considered. The main focus is on Roberto Finelli's recent work, in which he proposes a peculiar deconstruction of fundamental categories, such as labor and contradiction.
