The Genesis of the Concept of History in Marx. From Hegel's Notion to Class Struggle.

This paper intends to give an account of the theoretical course that allowed Marx to formulate his first approaches to the concept of history. Far from considering as a discovery that arises from his genius, we will notice the different theories in which he nurtured. We will trace the relationships between the writings of Marx and the notions of history both from Hegel, and the Hegelians von Cieszkowski, Bauer and Feuerbach, as well as the ones from classical political economists. In this way, these theories will be presented as the framework with and against which Marx developed his original ideas, both nourished from them as questioning them. Avoiding making a reconstruction isolated from the concept of history, we will be in dialog with other fundamental notions of his thought, as the concept of man and of social class. Thus, we will remark the special bond that puts in relation to understand his theoretical construction as a coherent articulation. And, at the same time, will in relation to that theory with its political proposals, to demonstrate that, far from being isolated instances, are inherently linked. And, at the same time, we will relate that theory with Marx's political proposals, to demonstrate that, far from being isolated instances, they are inherently linked.
