Walker: 'Marx was always "working things out" and thus it is unwise to pick a sentence from this 1852 letter or a passage from that 1859 preface as the definitive statement of "Historical Materialism." That isn't how I operate. .... When I cite a passage from the Grundrisse, it is not because that passage gives me a thrill -- although it may -- but because I evaluate that passage as exemplary of Marx's larger project.'
Exactly the wrong way to "evaluate" and operate. What counts is not text versus text. What counts is which concepts model real life the best. Your textualism is a firm opposite to materialism. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
