wrobert ________________________________ As I have already noted, Althusser eventually came to the conclusion that Marx never fully broke from his earlier problematic. Although, I have to say that I have no idea what Althusser you are referencing in this conversation. Could you fill me so that I could take a look? Robert Wood

^^^^ CB:  Kinda hard to keep track of all the Marxes and Althussers, but I'm just kidding, because I think Althusser's discussion in an essay on Marxism and Humanism is helpful, and that he does locate significant development in Marx's thought even if not the "last word". Clearly, Marx started out as a Hegelian  then went through  the Feuerbachian break with Hegel to atheism and then went beyond Feuerbach. Marx critiques Hegel in the 1844 manuscripts.
