Postone suggests flatly that Marx produced a Critique of Political
Economy,
NOT a Critical Political Economy...
This can be maintained only by ignoring what Marx thought he was doing.
In the preface to the first edition of Das Kapital Marx stated his
essential purpose in these words:
"It is the ultimate aim of this work to lay bare the economic law of
motion of modern society."
An "economic law of motion" is a proposition of Political Economy just
as a "categorical imperative" is
a proposition of Practical Reason, and the word "Kritik" (which, of
course, Marx took from Kant) has the same sense in the two cases.
