I am far from having the scientific knowledge necessary to deal with the issues raised here. But in my limited understanding it seems to me that this piece is wrong both in its fudging of the difference between the Engels and Marx understanding of the dialectics of nature and quantum science and the recruiting of quantumists (as far as I know this is my coining and I acknowledge its inelegance) as unconscious dialecticians. And to label one of the greatest of scientists of the last century as anti-science on the basis of what I believe to a profound misunderstanding of the uncertainty principle so that he is put forward as a sort of knock-em-down Bishop Berkeley doll is more of an attack on the writer's grasp of reality than Bohr's. It is perhaps not too surprising that such a schematised view of quantum science comes from such a sectified, ossified outfit as the Ted Grant commemorating IDOM mob. If this sort of stuff is to be put forward as Marxist-worthy then the time may not be far off when Shaun May and I take up lots of space with our competing fond memories of Healy's dialectics of cognition. God,Hegel, Marx, Engels, Trotsky save us.
