The double character of work, considered one of the central points of Marx's theory of value, presents different approaches within Marxist thought. Isaak Illich Rubin considered one of the most important interpreters of the theory of value, in his work “Essays on Marx's Theory of Value”, discusses the main defining elements of abstract work and analyzes its most common conceptions, reinforcing the centrality of exchange and transformation in social work. In the field of health, the Argentine physician and sociologist Juan César García also discusses the dual nature of work and, despite being part of a line of thought criticized by Rubin, brings a view of relationship between work and the health-disease process. From the debate between the contributions/reflections on abstract work in the work of Rubin and García, this article traces the contradictions and important approximations to the construction of Marxist thought between these two authors.
