Considerations for an Ontogenesis of Labor Policy

Abstract

The objective of this article is to develop introductory considerations for an understanding of politics whose origin is seen through the category of labor. In the work of Karl Marx and György Lukacs labor is understood as the fundamental mediation between humanity and nature, the producer of use values and a foundational moment of the social being. Bibliographic research was conducted, systematizing the main Marxian-Lukacsian categories and relate them to politics. As ontogenesis, it was recognized that the rise of politics is linked to work, because it mimics its fundamental operations. Labor, for primary teleology, is conscious action that by means of previous ideation, plans the execution and moves legalities of matter creating objects that are useful to its goals. In turn, the secondary pores, among which politics is highlighted, even if derived from labor, are distinct from it and influence individuals in the realization of their concrete pores. The rise of politics is thus related to the need for persuasion, or to the attempt to induce men or groups of men to conduct certain activities within a specific form of sociability.
