political economy. With this in mind the reader will be taken
through three meta-theoretical levels of Marx' method of analysis
of the struc tures of capitalism: (1) the clarification of
'critique' and method from Kant's epistemology, Hegel's
phenomenology, to Marx' political economy (Chapter One); (2) the
analysis of 'critique' and time, that is, the temporal dimensions
of the critical method as they evolve from Hegel's Logic to Marx'
Capital and the difference between the use of the future in
explanatory, positivist science and 'critique' (Chapter Two); (3)

of the category of materialism, the ambivalence and ambiguity of
its use in Marx' critical method, and the ontological and logical
dilemmas created by the Schelling-Feuerbach turn toward materialism
in their critique of Hegel (Chapter Three). The critique of
political economy is, therefore, examined at the levels of
methodology, temporality, and ontology. To what do the categories
of political economy really refer when the positivist
interpretations of Marx have been shattered and 'critique' be comes

and methodology? And what kind of applicability will it have when
its format is such as not to produce predictive, technical
knowledge, but practical knowledge in the Greek sense of the word
(Praxis)? What be comes of the criterion of truth when epistemology
itself, like science, is"
