Yep! That comes later. The account so far tries to give a meaning to value pertaining to commodities, how they can come to have prices, how one magnit...
The most damning indictment I can think of for economics (which, surprising anyone who regularly reads my posts, includes Marxist perspectives on it) ...
The next subsection 'The Interdependent Development of the Relative Form of Value and the Equivalent Form of Value' sets out the conceptual character ...
It's a sad state of affairs when suffering from a debilitating mental disorder which often upheaves someone's entire life looks a lot like being an id...
Yeah. I can see why my list of things could seem like I actually approved of mania. I've been manic before (clinically), it felt like a lot of fun at ...
I don't really think it's a useful question to ask 'what's the opposite of depression?', but if I'd have to guess I'd say mania. Unipolar depression h...
I don't know where the boundaries of philosophy are, so I've included some common sayings from IRL 'meaningful conversations': Things which are almost...
I broadly agree with what you're saying here. Intersectionality without paying attention to class misses an important source of variation in opportuni...
That remains to be seen. It's possible to be blinkered in some areas and not blinkered in others. I imagine that you're not particularly blinkered her...
@"VagabondSpectre", I've not responded with quote breakdowns because I want to respond to the general points you make rather than try to perform some ...
Intersectionality is an attempt to make people from all backgrounds heard on a methodological level. It has a generous intention of equality and inclu...
Intersectionality is nothing more than a call to listen to people's testimony from different backgrounds to learn about those groups. Nothing essentia...
Let's imagine that we're trying to find out about something that happened in our social circle one night. It makes sense to ask people who were there....
The passivity ascribed to commodities in forms A and B is a reference to their status as networks of 'accidental' exchange, commodities are traded for...
It's very difficult to disagree with the OP due to how it's framed. Everyone will agree that inappropriate emphasis should not be given to inappropria...
Going through the section more meticulously now, this expands on the exegesis for the Marx's solution to the deficiency in the expanded form and that ...
So one puzzle here is that the general form of value (depicted on the right above) is consistent with the deficient expanded form of value (on the lef...
Marx proceeds to 'fix' these problems (lack of unity, indeterminate expression) in the expanded form. First exploiting the symmetry condition of the '...
The above diagram represents what I believe is the intuition behind Marx's diagnosis of 'defects' in the expanded form of value developed thus far. Ma...
The loss of determinate expression of a commodity's value in the expanded form above is analysed in the next section. 3. Defects of the Total or Expan...
Subsubsection: The Expanded Relative Form of Value The major new feature of the expanded form of value over the elementary form of value is that value...
Subsection 4: The Elementary Form of Value considered as a whole. This section is mostly a summary of the Relative Form and Equivalent Form sections, ...
Since you've already primed me to think of this in terms of the creation of the synthetic a priori and how that creation interfaces conceptually with ...
I sometimes get the feeling that analytic philosophers hide that they're talking about anything interesting by talking about language. So my eyes ofte...
I deleted your topic because it was 1.5 lines consisting solely of an injunction for your readers to forget their pasts, assuming I haven't confused y...
If you do have substantive criticisms, can you please quote my exegesis or Marx? I also want discussions here to be mostly textual rather than freefor...
I get the sneaking suspicion that you're not putting much effort into studying the book or my exegesis of it. In one of the opening posts I highlighte...
I thought you'd be interested on Terence Tao's thoughts on the development of mathematical skill. He has three distinct stages of competence: (1) Pre-...
The remainder of the section is mostly reiteration through an example, going through Aristotle's analysis of value: The last paragraph, however, intro...
So far we have that if 'x coats is worth y yards of linen', the exchange value of the x coats expresses itself as a definite quantity ( y ) of the use...
I don't think trauma does all the work of subjectivity as an idea, but I think it's a pretty good example of how a subjectivity works. I think it emph...
I wanted to chime in with something that looks to me as an example, though I'm mostly thinking of subjectivities in the Badiou-ian sense of 'subject-t...
Then it's wrong. You don't actually need to go to category theory for objects which don't exist in the ZFC universe, certain large cardinals need extr...
Do some reading about it. Essentially small categories are those which have representations as sets and set relations/operations. Not all categories a...
That's not how that works. There are more categories than the category of sets, Set. Only things in Set are categories which can 'be instantiated' in ...
