O todo e as partes: uma introdução ao método da economia política
Keywords:
method, political economy, MarxAbstract
The method of political economy is defined by a social reality in which the historical and social process are contradictories and dialeticals. The main questions of the method of political economy are the relations between abstract and material, induction and deduction, logical and historical, individual and the social relations and the problem of relations between the general capital and the specific capitals. This article emphasizes a necessity of going beyond the abstract knowledge of the parts and the knowledge that is characterized by deduction of a reality from the abstract general laws. Besides, it aims at knowing the social reality as a whole. To know the reality is a process related to three movements: to abstract the parts from the whole; to analyze its laws and internal relations; and to reproduce conceptually the reality as a whole.
