I have been very impressed and moved by John's ability to plumb the depths of and to develop Marx's critiques of reification and fetishism by simply and unpretentiously focusing on the everyday language of our doing. Just as Lukacs's critique of reification seems to owe something to Simmel's vitalism (for which Colletti excoriated Lukacs), I tentatively believe there may be some possible connection to process philosophy as a result of John's critique of nouns and noun like entities, though John's own work surely seems to undercut the need for any kind of metaphysics to undergird Marx's critique. For those who are interested in the connection to process philosophy: Go to http://www.processphilosophy.org/; then papers, Full Text 2000 APA - Anne Fairchild Pomeroy: "Process Ontology and the Critique of Capitalism" Pomeroy has a forthcoming book * Marx and Whitehead: Process, Dialectics, and the Critique of Capitalism* (Forthcoming, SUNY Press) There is an earlier book Author: Kleinbach, Russell L.
