Marx on Hegel, what's his view regarding:

[Brent Lenny]

I was think about the Marx's quip that he 'had turned Hegel on his head' by opposing the latter's Idealism to his own rigorous materialism. What problems did Marx identify within the Hegelian methodology and how well did his own historical materialism resolve those problems?

I think these forums only talk about talking about pol sci, not actually talk about pol sci.

Someone has a political theory paper due, I suspect...

Clearly, math can fix this.

The funny thing is that if he had come here and just said "I'm in a bind, can any of you direct me to a good summary article that discusses this issue?" then he'd probably have got some help.

This seems like a midterm prompt. I'm not going to do your homework for you.

Scoff not!

Multiple both sides by zero, you get zero equals zero, and the answer to the question is "true."

(Can you believe that I tested out of math? Or that I used "geometric logic" to prove that Elmer Fudd and President Dwight D. Eisenhower were one in the same person?)

The real question is: is Hegel v. Marx...

( A ) ...a classic example of the Prisoners' Dilemma?

( B )..a Rousseauian Stag Hunt?

( C ) ...a Schellingy bargaining conflict process?

( D ) ..basically just a couple of awesome hombres getting together, rocking out, and doing it for the kids?

I should note also that, even at in this bastion of all things positivist *shudder*, I have had to read both Marx and Hegel this year. TAKE THAT! AND THAT! AND THAT!

The answer is always 27. They don't want you to know that.

All kidding aside, I was thinking about the how that conversation relates to Saint Louis University's Policy on Academic Honesty, and what Brian Cameron, who teaches part time in SLU's Department of Philosophy might think of the OP.

Sigaba wins thegradcafe.

Also, as healthy as I think this encounter will ultimately be for the original poster, and as bizarrely sincere it is of him to use his real name and photograph (at least, I hope it's actually him who posted this and not some other malicious student), he should probably know for future reference that it's quite risky to leave your Facebook completely visible to the public, and could lead to long-term consequences with future employers.

lol... theorists

[Origin=Goal]

I was excited to see this topic pop up, but I agree that quasi-plagiarism is a serious matter...I was especially taken aback by how the OP, in addition to being unable to formulate a summary of Marx's critique, also asked what his opinion should be on assessing his success/failure! Asking how to think is the most un-Marxian thing I've heard in a long time.

Finally! Somebody else that likes Mingus.

I feel inferior for knowing nothing besides Y=c+bx1+bx2+bx3...
