His study of Capital, The Abstract and Concrete in Marxs Capital is a masterpiece. Ilyenkov gained a formidable reputation as an interpreter of Hegel even outside of the ranks of Marxism. Ilyenkov was a communist, and the frustration of life in Brezhnevs USSR became more and more unbearable for him. ____________________________________________________________ Wholesale Hardwood Floors Never pay retail again.
