Re Chris's [8262]:

You gave interpretations to selected parts of the two quotes from
Hegel that appeared in [8251].  Thanks.  What do you think about
the influence of the following (especially the first sentence) on Marx's
conception of  the "immanent measure" of  value?

>  determinateness, and its indifference finds expression in the fact

In solidarity, Jerry
