ABSTRACT

After defining the metaphysics of capitalism in Chapter 1 as an intellectual construction aimed at providing an ultimate system of meaning to reality, we have been studying its overwhelming dialectical structural features. These serve to pacify the collective mind by pretending, among other things, that its laws are similar to those of nature. From that point, we have been able (starting in Chapter 2) to explore the technicalities of the discussion by using those modern authors (particularly, but not exclusively, eighteenth-century thinkers) who could help us operate outside the all-pervasive dialectical, moderate mind of capitalism as we know it.
