Abstract

The objective of this paper is to indicate the relation between development of productive forces and human emancipation. The argument is grounded in the expansion of human capabilities as a criterion to define a higher stage of development of productive forces rather than increased productivity, despite being a pre‐condition for human emancipation. I argue that the increases in productivity and expansion of human capabilities are not in an immediate relation, in the first place due to underdetermination of technology and secondly because the increases in productivity are just a manifestation of the contradictory process of expansion of human capabilities. I conclude that there is an intrinsic link between development of productive forces and human emancipation, and that therefore an element of the constitution of the 'realm of freedom' is the qualitative change of the productive forces.
