I mentioned Plato: Technically, this is false. In logic, ever since Plato, the rule has been that something cannot both be and not be in the same way at the same time. ---
Plato, of course, is where the conceot of dialectics got started in the first place. Does anybody know of Marx ever discusses the Platonic origin of the concept/term, or if he just restricts himself to Hegel? Man, this is making me wish I'd finished my dissertation and gotten the Ph.D. in phil I was aiming for before I moved to Russia. I haven't thought about this stuff in ages. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail is new and improved - Check it out! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
