Abstract

Analizamos cómo se ha relacionado el neomarxismo occidental con el debate contemporáneo sobre la racionalidad, cómo ha condicionado su comprensión del capitalismo y cómo ha modificado su relación con otras corrientes del pensamiento económico. A partir de un acontecimiento desconcertante, la defensa de la teoría de la elección racional por parte del marxismo analítico, se analiza cómo este fenómeno contemporáneo se relaciona históricamente con una asimilación por parte del neomarxismo occidental de las categorías establecidas por la tradición liberal en el debate sobre la racionalidad para estabilizar funcionalmente al capitalismo. Se concluye que, si las diversas corrientes contemporáneas del neomarxismo quieren dejar de representar una vertiente progresista del pensamiento liberal reformulado por Rawls, tienen que relacionar la irracionalidad sustantiva del capitalismo, no con un sistema de valores, sino con la forma social de la producción económica.
