R. Lew, Rubel and the question of ethics in Marx
The relationship between ethics and marxism is a question which comes to the fore periodically. Since the Second World War, Maximilien Rubel has been defending the thesis of the importance, if not the preeminence of ethics in Marx' work. Rubel considers that two dimensions are intimately linked in Marx, on the one hand the irreducible dualism between science and ethics and on the other, the foundation of revolutionary ethics in a true movement of self-emancipation of the working class. The vision of Marx' work poses at least two problems. 1) While ethics is indeed important, its separation from « science » tends, de facto, to a challenging of the objectivity, of the historical foundation of the revolutionary project. Ethics then becomes an ethic of withdrawal and conservation. 2) Doubt as to revolutionary « knowledge » — in fact the objectivity of the revolutionary project — thus attains the theme of the historical autopraxis of the working class which constitutes the sine qua non of marxism. While the self-emancipation of the oppressed as a reality at work no longer has the strength which was once attributed to it, the ethics of refusal of an inhuman world effectively has an outstanding place, while awaiting the indispensable process of the rooting of any revolutionary project in social life.
