Despite the great differences between them, both Marx and
Wittgenstein reject Cartesian dualism by showing that the mind is a
property of action and that hte meaning of an action lies not in
subjective consciousness but in the system of social praxis in
which an action occurs. This common view provides groundwork for
undercutting the enduring debate between 'subjectivism' and
'objectivism' in the social sciences, and is the key to their
notionof social explanation. Because the meaning of an action, in
their view, is a feature of social order rather than individual
consciousness, the form of analysis implied in their work cannot be
termed either subjectivist or objectivist. Rather it incorporates
the useful aspects of both forms of analysis since understanding
action, in this view, presupposes an understanding of the system of
social practices in which it occurs. It is argued at several points
that both subjectivism and objectivism are largely efforts to
resolve the problems posed for social science by dualism, and that
the key to the ability of Marx and WIttgenstein to transcend the
debate is in their shared rejection of Cartesian dualism. The
unique objectives of the study will be of particular interest to
all philosophers and social scientists, and all those interested in
the interrelationship between the two disciplines.
