I wonder if some of the more Marxist-oriented members of this list had
come across the following title:
_Time, Labor, and Social Domination_ by Moishe Postone
published by Cambridge University Press, 1993; ISBN #0-521-56540-5
I have only read the first chapter but it seems, on that admittedly slim
basis, to be one of the more insightful reconstructions of the Marxist
critique of capitalism and politics.
Mr. Postone wants to work past the specifics of Marx's analysis of
capitalism and beyond the kind of pessimism associated with the Frankfurt
School. I haven't read all of it yet, but would be interested in reactions
from those who have fully digested this angle on Marxist thought.
Thanks for any response,
--John
