IS MARXISM A PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY? MARX, THE THEORY OF PROGRESS, AND THE RUSSIAN QUESTION
Horacio Tarcus
SUMMARY. The author proposes a reading of Marxism that rescues the creative potential of the materialist conception of history, tied to the emancipatory dimension of Marxist socialism. The recovery of this notion implies distancing Marxism from historic productivist/progressive philosophies without failing to recognize its debt to positivism, but highlighting a richer and more multidimensional vision of history.
KEY WORDS: Marx, history, progress, philosophy.
THE IMMANENCE AND TRANSCENDENCE OF PRAXIS. OBSERVATIONS ON THE CONCEPTION OF HISTORY IN VICO AND MARX
Jaime Massaro y Lorena Fuentes
SUMMARY. Our article shows how the notion of practices constitutes the point of departure of the cognitive proposition found in the works of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) and Karl Marx (1818-1883). Praxis, conceived as the specific form in which human beings seek to satisfy our spiritual and material necessities, is transformed, given this specificity in the Demiurge of history, and blazes its own trail. Thus considered, praxis is an essentially immanent phenomenon. Our findings show, however, that praxis also struggles to recover infinity, to transcend. Through the search for satisfaction of this necessity praxis becomes the bearer of the fight for transcendence and, beyond that, the vehicle par excellence of its search.
KEY WORDS: Immanence, transcendence, history, philosophy, knowledge

A RE-READING OF THE IDEA OF PROGRESS FROM THE ETHIC OF DISCOURSE
Ricardo M. Rivas
SUMMARY. This paper considers the criticisms made of the modern idea of progress which provoked negative consequences in history while it was equated with instrumental reason. This situation permitted those critics of reason to declare "the end of history". However, this paper aims to review the former considering the ethics of discourse as a conceptual framework, as in Apel and Habermas, who aimed to address and revalue the emancipatory potential of reason and hold a perspective of sense for history.
KEY WORDS: Sense of history, progress, communicative rationality; emancipation.
