Rereading Marx Again and Again
Theory, which most accurately captures reality, is a fundamental prerequisite of any analysis of some phenomenon, even hypothetical ones. If dialectical laws of motion exist than, how dialectics of reality express itself in the human mind, i. e. in the form of man’s thoughts (categories)? How we ought to read Marx? I prefer to read all of Marx’s manuscripts, where he made a vast number of notes, comments, etc. These writings were “for himself”, for “clarification for himself”. They are draft research papers intended to clarify things for him. For example, in Grundrisse is Marx’s talking to yourself. It does not only reflect results but, first of all, the process of their emergence. The most interested are so-called digressions, unexpected retreat from the main theme. It was not isolated provocation Jacques Derrida’s affirmation of 1994, that “it will always be a fault not to read and reread and discuss Marx”.
