I am philosophically sub-literate, but for what it's worth, there's an essay by one Scott Meikle in _The Cambridge Companion to Marx_ (CUP, 1991) called "The metaphysics of substance in Marx" that is mostly about the relation between the bearded guy and the Aristotelian tradition ("...from Aristotle and the peripatetics through the Arabs, Al Farabi, and Averroes, to St. Thomas Aquinas and the medieval philosophers, and on to Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibnitz, G.W.F. Hegel, and Marx"). According to Meikle, "Marx was an Aristotelian in metaphysics, and unless we keep this in mind we cannot appreciate his work." (p. 296)
