This essay follows the development of the nature and history categories in Western social-philosophical thought up to the 18th century. The study focused on these categories, understands them as important presuppositions for an ontology of the social being present in the work of Marx, Engels and Lukács. It also understands as necessary, the revision of the elaboration of these foundations to understand the body and the human corporeity constituted in the relational complex of these categories. It is concluded that the antinomy between the natural and the historical-social in this period does not have concrete and satisfactory resolutions for the understanding of the complex, but it is possible to observe the attempt to split and overcome nature by the rational spirit.
