Summary:The present theoretical essay presents the views of selected authors from distinct historical periods, about human beings & their social relations & indicates how some of theses views help to explain & legitimate the existence & the development of the capitalist way of production, while others raise possibilities for social transformation. It presents the idealizations of social models of Plato in "The Republic," Thomas More in "The Utopia," & the "utopian socialists" Saint-Simon, Owen & Fourier. The comprehension of the different concepts of man & of the social projects based on them can enrich & historically locate researches on the current configuration of the world of labor & the situation of workers.
