Lenin never repudiated his Materialism and Empirio-Criticism (1908). His later Philosophical Notebooks record a deeper understanding of dialectics. Hegel indeed teaches a lot about dialectics. Of course, Lenin affirms more than once that Hegel is an objective idealist. But now you assert tell us that "Frank’s anti-apriorism is best understood as methodological materialism." "Methodological" materialism is nonsense; it is simply a denial of materialist ontology. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
