"This major new series of essays explores a wide variety of issues central to Marxist philosophy.
Here English-speaking philosophers make an important contribution to Marxist discussion and clarify previously confused areas of debate. These studies will be useful not only to academic philosophers but to all those for whom Marxism is a live and developing tradition.
The essays in this volume go far beyond current empiricist and Althusserian orthodoxies, and emphasise the radical difference between Marx's epistemology and other theories of knowledge.
Several essays analyse Marx's views on scientific thought; the sciences necessarily involve the use of abstract concepts, which must be understood in the light of Marx's realist interpretation of causality. Arguing against the empiricist views on causality and testing procedures, the authors criticise influential Althusserian doctrines of 'theory', and vigorously attack the work of some British Althusserians."
