Re: [Marxism] why did Marx reject moral?

["Calvin Broadbent" <calvinbroadbent@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay Paul, calm down, I posed an innocent enough question. I was not trying
to derail the discussion on Marx's a/morality. Not at all. James did say
that Marx held an 'Aristotelian' understanding of science. I wondered if
that entailed his acceptance of Aristotelianism in the natural sciences
which, I believe, there was a hefty amount of before Galileo, Descartes and
so on. A (realist) Aristotelian *philosophy* of science is, as James has
said, another kettle of fish.

PAUL DILLON WROTE:

Isn't that something of non-sequitur?  It certainly is a change of the topic
from "morals" to "science".  Why would one assume that because they say that
Marx didn't consign Aristotle to "history's dustbin" that someone writing
about it would accept Aristotelian science.   I smell three day old
red-herrings strewn on the path of a very good and extremely relevant
discussion..
