- Abstract
This work aims to compare Marx's and Tocqueville's insights about liberty and equality, a subject that both authors connect to a method-religion-history intersection and that nowadays can be linked to the discourse of human rights. This research is theoretical, qualitative, uses bibliographic content analysis as a methodological procedure and displays a theoretical framework composed of: Golding's reading on the distinction between context of discovery and context of justification; Marcelo Jasmin's interpretation on Tocqueville's Providence; Archetypal Theory of History's dialectical approach on the Christian myth of alterity - Carlos Byington; and Douzinas critical reading on Marx's offensive against human rights. Results produced include the confirmation of the following hypothesis: equality's providential inexorability (Tocqueville) and the prognosis of substancial equality (Marx) are compatible with the dialectical reading on the Christian myth of alterity and the idea of liberty found in its core. As a conclusion, we suggest that Tocqueville's Providence and Marx's eschatology can give place, nowadays, to the experience of what's unacceptable and unalienable - which can be described based on the notion of human rights as complaint of injustice - a shift that may restore both authors's hope of realizing liberty, equality and alterity.
