Materialidade Imaterial: a consciência histórica nos tempos da quarta revolução industrial

Abstract

Faced with the dizzying, despite incipient, fourth industrial revolution and the role that consciousness quickly acquires as the nucleus and pacemaker of all circles produced in countries with some level of industrialization, we sought a materialist approach to consciousness that could contribute to understanding and action in current capitalism. To do so, we start from the Marxian conception of consciousness as a social product, which he sought to elaborate based on an open dialectical logic that could demonstrate the materiality of the human spirit. Along the way, we seek to show how the interdiction of dialectics, whether through its dogmatization or its prohibition, in addition to distorting Marx's contribution to a materialist understanding of consciousness, helped to absolutize the meaning given to history by a high-tech monopolistic financialized capitalism, notably from the 1970s onwards. Finally, we carried out a historical analysis of the advancement of this new emerging mode of production, based on the elements of this materialist ontology, recovered and developed through the issue of immaterial materiality
