The Capital / Logic Debate (Paperback)

The Capital / Logic Debate is the first of two volumes on how Marx used Hegel's Logic in his Capital.

Andy Blunden reviews the current literature on the topic with detailed analysis of the contribution of ten authors, representing the spectrum of approaches. Finding that present-day writers fail to understand the Logic and misrepresent Capital as a work of Logic, Blunden focuses on the passage in the Logic entitled "The Idea of the True," which is ignored by every writer in the present-day debate.
