Abstract

Kar Marx’s critique of political economy is a cornerstone of modern culture and is and remains one of the most fruitful analyses of capitalist society. Understanding the role of this critique in grasping current political, social and economic issues is essential. The following are some of the aspects we would like to address in this editorial for Katálysis Journal: 1) the relationship between essence and appearance; 2) the relationship between reality and possibility; 3) the matter of the subject and social transformation.
