Re Tony's [7913]: > The assertion that one captures a "real" picture of phenomenon (one that is not socially constructed) is derivative of a representational philosophy that I don't subscribe to -- either for accounting, or for Marxism. < Then we are in more agreement than it might seem since I also believe that a "real" understanding of phenomenon is socially constructed. Within a class society, all understandings are socially constructed. When examining the topic in question, Marx looked at how that subject was conceived in the minds of bourgeois agents, didn't he? After all, isn't an examination of the praxis of the bourgeoisie a part of the development of critique from a revolutionary perspective? In solidarity, Jerry
