I am not a working scientist although I do have an undergraduate degree in physics. However, I have long been interested in both Marxism and in the philosophy of science.
Back in the twentieth century, the philosopher Karl Popper, who was one of the leading philosophers of science back then, was also notable as one of the leading critics of Marxism. Popper was for most of his adult life, politically, a socialist or a social democrat, despite his antipathy towards Marxism. His critiques of Marxism appeared in a number of his works, but probably the most sustained version appears in his book T he Open Society and Its Enemies: Volume 2: The High Tide of Prophecy: Hegel, Marx, and the Aftermath. https://www.quora.com/As-a-scientist-working-on-hard-science-and-having-interest-in-politics-what-do-you-think-of-any-Marxist-who-argues-that-Marxism-is-a-science/answer/Jim-Farmelant -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
