The objective of the article is to examine the work of the "early Habermas" prior to the linguistic turn, localized in the preparatory studies at the Theorie des kommunikativen Handels and later works. We intend to investigate the essay Arbeit und Interaktion, of 1967, in which Habermas, discussing with Lukács, aims to legitimate his conception of history as emancipatory evolution of man as generic being, from Hegel's texts in Jena's time, besides suggesting a new reading of the young Marx.
