[lbo-talk] post analytical Marxist era

[ken hanly]

As I recall in some of his early writings Marx does
sound very much a "liberal" and his earlier works are
very much influenced by Hegel but also by other quite
un-Hegelian philosophers such as Feuerbach. Hegel was
nothing if not an idealist and Marx was nothing if not
a materialist. The dialectical method shows the
influence of Hegel but it is applied so to speak
upside down.
