Resumen:
The last 10 or 15 years have witnessed a renewed
interest in Marxs dialectical method and its implications for value
theory. However, most works have not sufficiently thematized the
peculiar role of the phase of analysis in Marxs dialectical investigation
generally and in his presentation in particular. Furthermore,
they have not paid sufficient attention to the specific form
of the analytical process within dialectical thought, which distinguishes
it from the kind of analysis characteristic of formallogical
methodologies. Those two questions are crucial for a proper
comprehension of the dialectical structure of Marxs argument
in Chapter 1 of Capital and, in particular, to clarify the determinate
place where the unfolding of the explanation of the determinations
of privately performed abstract labor as the substance
of value is to be found. That explanation is actually contained in
section 3, where Marx presents the synthetic development of the
expression of value into the money-form.
