Abstract
- My article investigates Marx's dissertation from the perspective of the categories of Hegelian logic employed in the writings on the critique of political economy and, in particular, in the analysis of the value-form (Wertform) in Capital. The aim of my contribution is to show how Marx's early writing is not intended as a mere 'exercice encore scolaire' (Althusser), but as the first documented confrontation with Hegel's logic. Marx's early writing displays a moment of elaboration and acquisition of Hegel's method. I argue that the Epicurean atom represents a developing contradiction, and that the dissertation follows a precise Darstellung, which extends from the metaphysical and physical principle to the abstract subjectivity of Epicurean atomism.
