Os limites epistemológicos da articulação entre psicanálise e marxismo: considerações em defesa de uma psicologia materialista histórico-dialética

Abstract

In this text, we seek to reflect on the articulations between Marxism and psychoanalysis, which are common today, pointing out the foundations of Marxian thought that reveal the limits and insufficiency of psychoanalysis for understanding human subjectivity, which results in the interpretation of the contradictions ofcapital as inherent to human nature.We conclude that psychoanalysis, even though it may have historically contributed to the critical thinking of the Marxist field, must be overcome in favor of the development of an alternative psychological theory, based on historical-dialectical materialism, continuing the work started by L. S. Vigotski in the 1920-1930decades, in the revolutionary context of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
