DESCRIPTION:Marx’s “idealism” still generates impassioned discussions, as, for 
 example, during the current close reading of Chapter One of Capital at the 
 Marxist Library. Chapter One has had a stormy history among 
 post-Marx-Marxists. For Lenin its comprehension demanded studying the whole 
 of Hegel’s Logic. For Lukacs it anchored his concept of totality. Both 
 Sartre and Derrida were drawn to Chapter One’s “theo­ry of 
 fetishism” but each recoiled in their own way from what Sartre called its 
 “Hegelian idealism.” Althusser demanded ignoring it “to drive this 
 phantom [of Hegel] back into the night.” In Stalin’s Russia it was 
 ordered to be dropped from the teach­ing of Capital and the law of value 
 was baptized as an attribute of “socialism.” \nCan this intense ongoing 
 divide within Marxist discourse on Chapter One—traced by Raya 
 Dunayevskaya from her own unique perspective on Hegel—reveal the absolute 
 opposite to our post-truth world with its multiple crises facing 
 humanity?\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2018/08/15/18816924.php
SUMMARY:Does Marx’s idealism speak to our “post-truth” world?
