Hi Ian, My point is that science is engaged in giving causal explanations of phenomena and as such its explanations are accountable to phenomena. The appeal to Hegel often draws a distinction between logic and cause so that dialectical analysis is presented as non-causal and the necessities found are presented as non-causal. Explanation then is not causal or accountable to phenomena as such. This is not much of an expansion, but perhaps the target of my concern is clear. howard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Wright" <iwright@GMAIL.COM> To: <OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [OPE-L] Fw: [OPE-L] Marx's Form of Analysis > Hi Howard > > > I also agree, of course, with your point about the Hegelian strand and would > > add that the distinction one finds between logic and cause drives a wedge > > between Marx and science. > > I didn't understand this last bit.
