| Descripció: | This essay aims to performan exploratory work on the influence that Goethe’s Faust had in the making of the definitive version of Marx’s theory of value, observing centrality of the moments that Marx goes to this work and especially to verses 2140-2141, one of the most used citations by him in all of his works. It is based on the hypothesis that Faust has a capital importance in the construction of the concept “automatic subject”, and that the use of citation by Marx does not act only as an amplifier of linguistic expressiveness, but it has epistemic value. Taking as an analytical framework the optic of the “critique of value”, it is tried to demonstrate that Faust is subsumed, incorporated, like a constituent part of the whole that is his theory of value. Keywords: Faust, automatic subject, capital, value criticism, Karl Marx. |
