Brief Comments on the Relationship between Marxism and the Hegelian Dialectic

Sunday, October 6, from 1 to 3 pm EDT

“The Ground on Which Marx Stood when Turning to Reality and Practice”: Andrew Kliman will lead the discussion on Raya Dunayevskaya’s unique and challenging view that Marx began to develop his Marxism before he was a Marxist, when he was working out the dialectic of the transformation of reality. This was the ground on which he stood when he later turned to the real world and to practice.
