Sorry, wrote this in a hurry. It should read:
Scientific knowledge is represented in the form of ideas, but unlike the
ideal (which as Marx put it is "as nothing else but the form of social
activity represented in the thing or conversely the form of human creativity
represented as a thing as an object") Science is the representation of
reflections on practical labour activity rather than on social activity.
Comment: it is the identity of the means of representation of ethics and of
science both in conscious thought and in material symbolical form that is
the source of confusion regarding the distinction between the ideal and the
real.

That is to say, in Science the idea is "hijacked" to formulate theories
regarding the universal laws etc. involved in the practical realization of
ideas through labour and regarding the relevance of these laws to the work
at hand.

This should be rewritten to read:
That is, the representation of scientific knowledge involves "hijacking" the
mode of representation of ethos and using it to represent theories regarding
the universal laws etc. involved in the practical realization of ideas
through labour and regarding the relevance of these laws to the work at
hand.
