Lentes coloridas: direito e religião, as concepções de mundo e a questão da igualdade em F. Engels

Abstract

The following study seeks to cast the minimum ground to clarify how Friedrich Engels critics of law conforms itself. Starting from the common and dissonant aspects, amongst the super structural elements of Law and Religion, understanding the roles undertaken by these forms of social mediations characteristic to the bourgeois civil society. Engels starts from the genesis of the development of what he calls a juridical worldview, linking its emergence to the socio-economic transformations that supplanting European feudality produced by capitalist society. The author shows an important connection between a theological world view and a juridical worldview pointing at the dissonances and remaining amongst them. Such reflections and arguments can be located mainly in 3 of the authors books, the Juridical Socialism, Origin of the Family, Private property and the State and, on its Magnus Opus, the Anti-Duhring. Besides being spread throughout many other works, for example, Ludwig Feuerbach and the end of the classical German philosophy and on The Peasant war in Germany, as well as in its vast preserved correspondence and in some of its works not published in life. In this process, Anti-Duhrin author analyses and criticizes extreme central topics to the modern juridical reflections. Such as, equality, the modern legal subject, and , among other relevant questions. These remarks still raise major debates on the field of Law and Jurisprudence, most important on the field of the critics of Law.
