HEGEL VE MARX’TA ÖZGÜRLÜK OLARAK EMEK

Öz

Bu makale birbiriyle ilintili üç savdan oluşmaktadır. İlk olarak, hem Hegel hem de Marx'ın, emek faaliyetini toplumsal ilişkilerin merkezine yerleştirdiği ve modern endüstriyel toplumdaki üretim ilişkilerinin doğasını benzer şekilde ele aldığı iddia edilmektedir. İkinci olarak, bu benzerliklere rağmen, iki düşünürün özgürlük anlayışları önemli ölçüde farklılık göstermektedir. Üçüncü ve son olarak, iki düşünürün modern toplumun değerlendirmelerinin birbirinden büyük ölçüde farklı olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır. Hegel için özgürlüğün gerçekleşmesi devlet seviyesinde gerçekleşen, benliğin kendisini bütün olarak kavradığı bir an anlamına gelir. Marx’ın özgürlük anlayışı ise benliğin emek faaliyetinde teyit edilmesidir. Sonuç olarak, Hegel için siyasal alan modern toplumun çelişkilerinin çözüldüğü bir alana dönüşür; Marx'ın toplumsal kuramı ise yalnızca modern üretim ilişkilerini eleştirmekle kalmayıp bu ilişkilerin tümden dönüştürülmesini mecbur kılar

LABOR AS FREEDOM IN HEGEL AND MARX

Abstract

This article makes three interrelated points. First, I argue that both Hegel and Marx construct the activity of labor as central to social relations and view the nature of production relations in modern industrial society similarly. Second, despite these similarities, their understandings of freedom differ significantly. Hence and third, I conclude that their respective evaluations of modern society is drastically different from one another. Whereas for Hegel, actualization of freedom requires self’s realization of itself as the totality; a moment that takes place at the level of the state; Marx comprehends freedom as the self’s being affirmed in its activity. While the political realm becomes a resolution of the tensions of the modern society for Hegel, Marx‘s social theory not only involves a critique of the modern production relations but also requires their transformation
