Resumen:
As in any other point in history, the recovery and update of Marx´s modern project becomes a sine qua non for the renewal of the left globally. Such a demand for renewal is produced in a moment of retraction and generalised turmoil facing the unprecedented expansion of neoliberal programmes throughout the world. In this work, I will show how the bet that underlies this pair of assertions differs radically from the typical and recurrent Marxist call to return to Marx, a call that social sciences have not addressed for ages. Supported by all his work, I will hold that Marxian´s is a dialectical identity, in the same way as dialectics in itself defines its identity principle. That said, I have been able to prove that such identity is dialectical in a double register: in the unleashed movement between theoretical practice and political practice, and then to the interior of the theoretical practice itself. The dialectics to the interior of the theory operates mainly binding the three abovementioned kernels: the rational-scientific, the critical and the transformative ones.
