Yes, I have this book, haven't read it yet. Know Lawler, knew him in Buffalo.
Got an article by him on my web site. Of late he's written articles for the
Open Court series on popular culture and philosophy, e.g. in THE SIMPSONS AND
PHILOSOPHY, and some of the later books in the series. I also know Marquit and
have published in his journal, most recently, a book review on Marcuse.
Re your post on bourgeois philosophy and viz. this post on Priest: of course
most academic philosophers do not comprehend the issue of bourgeois philosopphy
or what make it beoirgeois, or the division of labor, or the consequences of
fragmentation. My purpose in doing these studies--this historical review--is
to map, analyze, and overcome the fragmentation of knowledge.

Graham Priest: Dialetheism & Marx
Ralph Dumain :
Priest, Graham. 'Was Marx a Dialetheist?', Science and Society, 1991, 54,
468-75.
While I don't expect everyone to be held spellbound by this question, it is
illustrative of a recurring problem in intellectual history (and also in
popular intellectual culture, which is another story. Priest's views on
dialetheism (logic which admits contradictions) is controversial among his
fellow logicians, and he responds to objections in his book. Probably his
fellow logicians (except those interested in Marx, among which there are
more than a few) are not terribly concerned about his views on Marx, and in
fact he says nothing about Marx in his book. However he did get a response
to his earlier article on dialectics and dialetheism:
Marquit, Erwin. "A Materialist Critique of Hegel's Concept of Identity of
Opposites," Science and Society, Summer 1990, 54, no. 2, 147-166.
^^^^^
CB: You may know that Marquit is the editor at Marxist Educational Press,at
the University of Minnesota. So along with the above article, Marquit has an
article "Contradictions in Dialectical and Formal Logic" in a book
_Dialectial Contradictions: Contemporary Marxist Discussions_, with about
nine articles by US , Soviet, Canadian and German philosophers, juris
prudence et al on this related topic. James Lawler has one of the articles.
He has been on this list. Lawler's article is " Hegel and Logical and
Dialectical Contradictions, and Misinterpretations from Bertrand Russell to
Lucio Colletti."
Also, in Nature, Society and Theougt Vol.3, No. 1 1990 Marquit has
"Distinctions Between the Spheres of Action of Formal Logic and Dialectical
Logic"
