----- Original Message ----- From: "Jurriaan Bendien" <j.bendien@wolmail.nl> To: <gerald_a_levy@msn.com> Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 10:45 AM Subject: correction Jerry, I just checked out the original quote again, which is: "Mankind thus inevitably sets itself only such tasks as it is able to solve, since closer examination will always show that the problem itself arises only when the material conditions for its solution are already present or at least in the course of ormation". Therefore Marx actually doesn't use a double negative. I was actually wondering about that, because what you said did not sound quite right, so I checked it. My previous post was therefore in error, although the main point still stands, since "able to solve" does not mean "will solve". Jurriaan > >
