Some nations on Hegel’s and Marx’s methodological approach

Abstract

Some of Hegel’s methods can be pointed out by accepting three fundamental attitudes: 1. The self-development of the Absolute, 2. The relationship between consciousness and self-consciousness, 3. The principle of contradiction as the basic principle of dialectic deduction. The dialectic process manifests itself in two directions: 1. By cutting the appearance as its negation. The Absolute is self-recognizing. 2. Within the appearance and cutting the negative results, contradictions are affirmed and are expressed through the category of the absolute truth. As far as Hegel’s methodological approach is concerned, the panlogistic determinant is attached to it as a speculative moment which does not allow the analysis that would remove itself from the deductive method of reducing itself to the commological principle. Hegel’s synthesis as its chief task has to realize the coherence of the system through the principle of contradiction and the appearance as negation. Since we have termed Hegel’s system deductive and synthhetic, M arx’s can be termed inductive or analytic. Marx’s interest in the empiric research impled deducing consciousness from social circumstances. Thus he was radically contrasting Hegel’s comprehension of the types off people, among whom would be those having a greater number of characteristics of masters, and others having a greater number of characteristics of slaves. In relation to Hegel’s understanding of dialectics, M arx adheres to the component of development only. We can say that Hegel’s influence on Marx is seen only in the choice of the problems they wrote about.
