Summary:

Through a discussion with current perspectives in philosophy of history - especially with a critical approach to Paul Ricœur's work - and a rigorous reading of Marx's oeuvre this book proposes an interpretation of this author's concept and method of historical knowledge. In this sense the examination of his concepts of social space and social time serve to highlight the possibilities of the best Marx in terms of the explanation of the dynamics of complex multilinear development of human societies and of capitalism in particular.
