> Not doubt thyself . Where does Marx , Engels or Lenin doubt themselves in
a published work ? The classic Marxist texts are all in very certain and
_authoritative_ voices, not as Engels calls it , shamefaced materialist
self-doubt. Marx ruthlessly criticizes all that exists _in objective
reality_not in his own subjectivity of his intellectual maturity. Hell Im
older than Marx was when he died. I'm long past the youthful necessity to
investigate a variety of philosophies , arts and sciences. I gave up
philosophical agnosticism 35 years ago after subscribing to it in college
for 15 years . Also, as a lawyer , Doctor of jurisprudence , I assume
certainty of social theories all the time. Jurisprudence is the model for
science. Scientists get "law" , their central concept from guess who ?
LAWyers.
