The faces of freedom and the revolution of thought

By Ana Maria Revelo

This paper, on the one hand, has as its main research focus and objective, to analyze the philosophical and historical-philosophical connections that exist between Freidrich Hegel, Karl Marx and Axel Honneth in relation to the categories alienation and reification and the relationship that they may have with what we will call, following Axel Honneth, democratic system of eticity. Thus, it will be necessary to reconstruct what is alienation and what is reification, the former a category developed by Hegel but usually identified with Marxian theorizing, and the latter a category more proper to Marxian theory, both of which are again thematized by Honneth in the process of constructing his theory of social freedom and democratic ethicism. Since democratic eticity is an ideal, a state of affairs to be achieved, what this thesis will have to consider is the way in which alienation and reification, both of which are considered negative situations and incompatible with the idea of freedom, can be overcome.
