Abstract

The objective of this research is to understand the value of ontology in The Capital (Book I) by Karl Marx. The argument is that, from the Marxian inversion of the Hegelian dialectic, the labor value category has an ideological determination. The focus has rational abstraction of surplus value. Value is measured in substance (work), quantity (working hours) and form (exchange value), and converted into a mercantile language (expressed in money) for the production/expropriation of surplus value. Abstraction is thus distancing and indefinite isolation trend of surplus value in relation to the worker's consciousness. We see this abstraction in absolute and relative surplus value and wages for time and piece. We believe that the presentation/representation (Vorstellung) of money is important in this abstraction; that ideology in Marx is not reduced to pure abstraction, so the false consciousness/illusion; it has to do with the capitalist truth or correspondence between (concept-idea) capital, (object) money and (reality) (value-) work (AU)
