Akselrod herself, like her opponent, Deborin, was trained as a professional philosopher, but most of the other mechanists were scientists. K.A. Timiriazev was a distinguished biologist, who had a research center named after him by order of Lenin. Stepanov was a mathematician who also had a background in physics. I think the majority were either physicists or chemists. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Marxism-Thaxis mailing list > [email protected] > To change your options or unsubscribe go to: > http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis > _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
