During the Industrial Revolution, Karl Marx's political philosophy was forged amidst the social fabric that was transforming with the rise of capitalism and the inhumane working conditions in factories. Marx, in his critical analysis, established the idea that the economic structure of a society influences its set of ideas and institutions, and not the other way around, thus uniting philosophy with sociology and economics. In the contemporary context, the discussion on the relationships between work and value continues, but adapted to the complexities of the digital age, where immaterial work and the valorization of knowledge also become central. In 'Capital', Marx states: 'Capital is not a mere accumulation of commodities, it is essentially value in motion, value that valorizes itself.' Considering Marx's fragment and the proposed interdisciplinarity, analyze how the notion of value in work and the relationship between work and capital can be understood in the light of Marxist philosophy and contemporary economics. Furthermore, discuss how technology and the knowledge economy impact the understanding of work and value in today's society.a.
According to Marx, the relationship between work and capital in contemporary society is based exclusively on the exchange value of commodities, disregarding the use value and intellectual work.
b.
The knowledge economy and technology represent a surpassing of the capitalist system, as predicted by Karl Marx in his works.
c.
In Marxist theory, the value of a commodity is determined only by the cost of raw materials and by supply and demand in the market, regardless of labor time.
d.
According to Marx's view, with the advancement of technology and automation, the relationship between work and capital tends to be more equitable, reducing class disparities.
e.
In the light of Marxist philosophy, the relationship between work and capital in contemporary society is still one of exploitation, with capital valorizing itself not only through labor-value but also through the value of knowledge and immaterial work. The knowledge economy and technology impact the understanding of work and value, expanding it beyond labor time and including quality and innovation.

In the work 'Nicomachean Ethics', Aristotle discusses ethics as the investigation of character dispositions that lead to the flourishing of human life in society. In a passage, he states: 'Ethics is not a theory, but a practice. We do not seek just to understand what virtue is, but we strive to become good.' Considering the context of ethical debates, especially regarding the formation of values and moral attitudes in contemporary society, evaluate the following hypothetical situation: In a culture where corruption is widely tolerated and even encouraged in various sectors, what ethical strategy could be employed to promote reflection and the adoption of more integral behaviors among individuals, taking into account Aristotle's thoughts on ethical practice and its role in shaping human character?

In contemporary times, subjectivity has been frequently influenced by a myriad of social and technological phenomena, leading to the perception of a 'fragmented identity' (Bauman). In this context, individuals are compelled to navigate digital environments that both expand the scope of their personal expression and restrict the space for reflection and critical dialogue. In his work 'Liquid Modernity', Zygmunt Bauman discusses the fluidity of human relationships and the fragility of social ties. According to Bauman, 'identity is a matter that has shifted from 'being' to 'seeming', from content to form' (2001). Considering the presented scenario and Bauman's concepts, analyze how the dynamics of social networks and the virtualization of communication interfere with the construction of identity and the individual's relationship with the social world.

Contemporary democracy, forged in a context of pluralism and cultural diversity, faces the challenge of reconciling the preservation of individual rights with the promotion of the common good. In this scenario, ethical deliberation emerges as an essential tool in the decision-making process that affects the community. The contemporary philosopher Jürgen Habermas proposed the 'discourse ethics' as a theoretical foundation for the validity of norms in a democratic society, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and rational consensus in the public sphere. In his work 'Between Facts and Norms,' Habermas states that 'the democratic process cannot do without ethical communication, which requires a constant adjustment between the normative system and the behavioral expectations of its citizens.' Considering the presented context and Habermas's perspective, analyze the role of ethical communication in the democratic dynamics and discuss to what extent the notion of 'fact' and 'norm' are relevant for decision-making within democratic values.
