Keywords:
reflection theory, hermeneutics, ontology, epistemology, Marxism.
Abstract
In his later work, Lukács investigates the materialistic ontological categories that define the “generic human essence”. He arrives to the category of “reflection”, a cognitive process that includes a recursive movement between subject and object, updated during the social praxis, which allows the subject to know the objective world and intervene in it. The article states that, in such a movement, an interpretative strategy occurs that we can identify with that of the “circle of interpretation” developed in the hermeneutic tradition.Format
