Direito, política e reconhecimento: apontamentos sobre Karl Marx e a crítica ao direito

Abstract

Taking in account the Marxian affirmation that says that “Law is nothing else than the official acknowledgment of the fact”, we intend to deal with the relationship between Law and acknowledgment (Anerkennung), having in mind the heterogeneity of Politics and Law. The first may present itself as a field more likely to make explicit the contradictions of bourgeois civil society (bürguerliche Gesellschaft), mainly centered in class struggle; Law, on the other hand, according to Marx, tends to be a field in which this is much less likely to occur.
