Philosophy, Marxism, Dialectics, Complexity Theory, neoliberalismAbstract
This paper analyzes some ideas of David Harvey in relation to the epistemological background of his proposal. It also studies the relationship between complexity theory, the notion of model, and Marxism, in order to comprehend the contradictions derived from this, not only for Marxism, but also for the study of capitalism. On the contrary, it establishes a return to dialectics and its notion of Wissenschaft as a means to sublate the distortions of Marxian thought that Harvey’s proposal does.
