How could I have let that one slip by me. In the case of Bohr, we have hear someone who WAS a dialectically trained thinker, although the sort of dialectics that he was attracted to was the dialectics of his fellow countryman, Sorens Kierkegaard. I discussed Bohr on this list back in 1999: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/pipermail/marxism-thaxis/1999-January/013669.h tml http://lists.econ.utah.edu/pipermail/marxism-thaxis/1999-January/013696.h tml > > Anytway, I tink taht the meaning of diaklectics in, > for example, Hegel or (to a lesser extent) Marx is a > valid topic for inquiry, there has been less than no > payoff in the idea that there is something called the > dialectical method which can be grasp in advance of > and apart from one's scientific work in concreto and > used to adavance thatw ork. > > jks > > --- Jim Farmelant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
