Abstract

This work seeks to understand the place of the syllogism in Karl Marx\'s writings. For this purpose, we have chosen the strategy of investigating the passages in which Marx explicitly uses the term. We have chosen to look first for the sense in which Marx uses the term in the context in which it appears, leaving for a later analysis the dialogue with the analyses and interpretations of some commentators. In the first chapter we investigate how the syllogism of the different rubrics (production, distribution, exchange (circulation) and consumption) fits into the whole of the Introduction of 1857. In the second chapter we investigate what Marx means by the circulation syllogism in the Grundrisse and in the Contribution of 1859. In the third chapter we return to Marx in 1843 to investigate his critique of the hegelian syllogism in the philosophy of right. Finally, in the fourth chapter, we try to interweave the different criticisms investigated above through dialogue with some commentators, as well as observing the impact of the syllogism on the debate on marxian method (AU)
