Hi Hans: So, in your view, Marx was a critical realist? ----------- On the meaning and translation of Verwirklichungsform, a section of "Money as constituent of value: the ideal extoversive form of value in Marx's _Capital_" by Geert inspired my question: http://www1.fee.uva.nl/pp/bin/104fulltext.pdf (see p. 15) (NB: Verwirklichungsform also referred to in some papers that I should get around to reading someday by [Hi Hanno] Helmut Reichelt in http://www.marx-gesellschaft.de/Texte/ReicheltGeltung.pdf [see note #100, p. 19] and Nils Frohlich in http://www.memo.uni-bremen.de/docs/nfmarx.pdf [p. 42]. Frolich's paper is long [118 pages] -- is it worthwhile reading?] ----------- Thanks so much for your answers. I'll have to mull them over some. Who else would like to ask Hans some questions or comment on his annotations? In solidarity, Jerry
