Citizenship, Democratic State, Social Inequality, Concrete EqualityAbstract
This paper talks about the relation between the citizenship - as a meaning of a politic equality conquest by men on modern democratic state - and the social inequality appared with the capitalism, structured on opposite social classes. This paper evidences the contradiction between abstract equality and concrete inequality, based upon the critique to that abstraction made by Karl Marx on his book Tbe Jewish Question, written on 1843. Besides, there are another themes broached here, like: the limits and the importance of political equality into the State, the relation between political emancipation and huma emancipation, and the possibility of a concrete equality among the men.
