Marx and the example (on the limits of capitalist scientific rationality)

Abstract

The following article aims at explaining 1) which exactly is the model of scientific rationality involved in the capitalist comprehension of economy; 2) why is this model deficient in managing the economic reality Marx discovered —a discovery (Marx’s) that necessarily contributed new factors to the western model of scientific rationality; finally, 3) why may Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis hold, vis-à-vis capitalist scientific rationality, a similar place to the one enjoyed by Marx’s theory.
