[Marxism] What is wrong with positivism?
What exactly is wrong with positivism? Isn't positivism a kind of
materialism? (Sorry about my ignorance here).
Reply:
Whilst dialectical materialism is in itself a highly positivist system of
theory, Marxists reject positivism, as it limits itself only to facts and does
not examine the underlying causes of things.
Hope this helps.
