Confluences and divergences in the concept and in the division of labor in Marx and Tocqueville
Keywords:
Labor, Marx, TocquevilleAbstract
The contemporaries Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) were thinkers who focused on the great themes of the 19th century: freedom and equality. Both denounced the inequality and suffering of the lower strata of society during the perverse industrial development. In this paper, I intend to point out some confluences and divergences in the concept of labor, to identify and expose the problems that the division of labor and its alienation impose on workers, under the prisms of the French liberal in Democracy in America (1835) and the German philosopher who groped towards communism in his Economic-philosophical manuscripts (1844).
