[lbo-talk] contradiction

[bhandari at berkeley.edu]

Any comments Levins and Lewontin's attempt to develop a real and temporal
theory of contradiction unlike the static set theoretic one? I am speaking
here of the conclusion to Dialectical Biologist? They are certainly not
obsure as is Ilyenkov at points (I mean here especially his argument that
the concept of value itself defies the law of non contradiction) but the
latter seems to mean something more by contradiction.

I really hope to have the time to study this along with the debates around
law of non contradiction commenced by Graham Priest in the Marxist journal
Science and Society and now the subject of a massive volume of critical
response.
But I'll read on with interest.
Yours, Rakesh
