>From a plug for Verso's Radical Thinkers series: "Verso's beautifully designed Radical Thinkers series, which brings together seminal works by leading left-wing intellectuals, is a sophisticated blend of theory and thought."
How would one differentiate theory and thought.
I know a bit about the distinction the Chinese developed, embodied in the difference (in Chinese) of the word translated as "ism" and the Chinese word translated as thought. And I know Mao queried a visiting physicist from the University of Chicago as to whether western scientists made the distinction. But does exist in western thought [sic] and, if so, is it of any importance?
