Ralph Dumain Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this particular work by Cornforth was later incorporated into his SCIENCE AGAINST IDEALISM.
^^^ CB: I don't know ^^^^^ I'm still trying to process the fact that this person apparently trained in some sophisticated philosophy could descend to writing the shit he wrote on dialectical materialism. Perhaps, like the Soviet philosophers, he was much better at criticizing bourgeois philosophy than coming up with a positive credible version of diamat. ^^^ CB: So you have a positive credible version of Marxist philosophy ? Where is it ? Send it to the list. ^^^^^^ Now that I think of it, I basically got on with my own intuitive version of dialectical materialism without accepting any of its standard presentations, which are all horrible, sloppy, half-assed, splapdash efforts. ^^^^^ CB: You can call it "shit" , "sloppy", etc. all you want but those aren't arguments, and so can be refuted by simply calling "sophisticated philosophy" names in response. Make arguments, specify what your criticism is, otherwise it's like you are farting on the list. There no reason to think that "sophisticated philosophy" is not subject to the criticism as bourgeois ideology that the Sovies, Cornforth and others made. What the fuck are you talking about "sophisticated philosophy", like it ain't the philosophy of the rich. ^^^^^^ Let me remind you that the fellow I mentioned specifically needs that one book in Cornforth's trilogy on diamat, THE THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE. For some reason, he has to use it for his students, Marx help them. ^^^^ I ain't about to send a copy of that book to somebody who is going to teach his students that it's shit. Who do you think you are kidding ? _______________________________________________ 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
