Example text

Nevertheless, the real is said to comprise a system of hierarchically ordered relations. The nature of the subject-matter, therefore, is not given to sense. Sincethe whole is a functioning system of hierarchically ordered relations, the reconstruction of the real in the ‘wayof thought’ must be accomplished in a systematic manner. It is important to note at this point that the term ‘concrete’has two particu­ lar denotations for Marx. It is on the one hand the ontologically prior real. The capitalist mode of production is represented in The PovertyofPhilosophy as a self-moving,self-reproducing whole comprising hier­ archically ordered, dialectically related forms of existence.

28 The Philosophy of Right should be read as Hegel’s most comprehensive and detailed attempt to establish the strong normativejustification of the modern socio-political order through this sort of system of syllogisms. Hegel’sargument for the rationality of the modern social world cannot be accepted. His social ontology includes free individuals, their motives and acts, the intended and unintended consequences of those acts, the (supposedly) quasi-natural association of the family,free associations of individuals in civil society, the political community and its customs, laws and state-apparatus, and external relations among states in world-history.

86. HEGEL, MARXAND THE COMPREHENSION OF CAPITALISM required to instantiate the Logic of the Concept in the socio-political realm. Capitalism therefore lacks rationality in Hegel’sstrongly normative sense of the term. 42Marx, lacking an adequate interpretation of Hegel, failed to recognise exactly which categories from Hegel’sLogic come into play in the critique of political economy. Capitalism is defined by a contradictory Essence-Logic, in Hegel’ssense of the term, from which we cannot escape without the historical creation of a new form of sociality.
