Re: Of Spirit and Fire (and Ghosts)

Nope, Jim,

A close reading of both the early manuscripts and the later Kapital suggests
to me that Marx may have written about wanting to divest Hegel of all that
fabulous nonsense, but he did quite the opposite -- he thoroughly reinscribed it
into and through his own work in the form of a number of other transcendental
figures, including some borrowed from Hegel (like "Science" and "Dialectics")
and some of his own creation (like Material and Class). They haunt his work
like a spirit, through and through.

But you already knew that, didn't you? Because you've read Specters of Marx.
