The investigation consisted of a theoretical research based on the works of Vigotski and other Marxist authors. We discussed three articulated processes: 1) the social formation and the development of individual consciousness; 2) the formation of social consciousness from the social relations of production; 3) the process of the class consciousness of the working class in relation to his social being. It was found that Vigotski provides important insights to understanding the process under discussion, especially related to the necessary mediations involved in the formation of individual consciousness in relation to social consciousness. Based on these contributions, it was possible to understand the movement of individual consciousness articulated to the class consciousness.
