Paul,
I didn't mean that there were explicit references to Hegel in this
manuscript, but rather that Marx employed concepts that appear to be
similar to Hegel's (transformation, contradiction, self-valorizing value,
unity of labor process and valorization process, etc.) I realize that
non-Hegelian interpretations could be given to these terms. But that is
why I think it is important to understand Hegel's meanings of these terms
in order to better understand Marx's meanings.
In looking back over vol. 30, I realize that the language is less Hegelian
than I had remembered. The language is closer to vol. 1 than to the
Grundrisse. So I agree that this draft does not provide obvious evidence
of the continuing influence of Hegel. That would require a closer
analysis.
But, again, I see the logical structure as essentially the same in all
three drafts (with some develdopment of details). The less frequent
Hegelian language deos not change the basic logical structure. So the
question remains: to what extent is this logical structure based, at least
in part, on Hegel's logic?
Comradely,
Fred
