Good am Mark: Yes FWIW I agree overall with this view. In fact one thing I remarked on the book is remarkable reluctance to do a frontal attack on M and E. It is alwasy in a sideways assault. But I am only about over a half thru’. I find it a fast read actually. But maybe as I am focused on trying to pick out pieces to cite or refute.
I don't know how familiar people here interested in this sort of thing know about Charles Woolfson: “The Labour Theory of Culture: A re-examination of Engels’s Theory of Human Origins”; London 1982. I have read this repeatedly over and over agin since ca 1990 when I got it. I can highly recommend it to anyone who still is influenced by the Althusser-Lukacian line that Engels did not know much and anyway distorted science etc etc… way.
