The New Dialectic and Marx’s Capital By: Christopher J Arthur

Author: Christopher J. Arthur

This book both argues for, and demonstrates, a new turn to dialectic. Marx’s “Capital” was clearly influenced by Hegel’s dialectical figures: here, case by case, the significance of these is clarified. More, it is argued that, instead of the dialectic of the rise and fall of social systems, what is needed is a method of articulating the dialectical relations characterising a given social whole. Marx learnt from Hegel the necessity for a “systematic” development, and integration, of categories; for example, the category of ‘value’ can be fully comprehended only in the context of the totality of capitalist relations. These studies thus shed new light on Marx’s great work, while going beyond it in many respects. This publication has also been published in hardback, please click here for details.
