[Xmca-l] Re: Ilyenkov, Marx, & Spinoza

[Larry Purss]

Alexander, Mike,
Thanks for the article.
Moving to page 51 I noticed that when referencing Bernstein he contrasted (action) with (practice) and did not REPEAT (identity) the thesis about the role of practice in knowing). 
Two formulas:
• Knowing THROUGH ‘action’
• Verification of knowing THROUGH ‘practice’

These two formulas closely RESEMBLE each other but do not co-incide 

Action IS individual
Practice IS a social category.

Sociohistorical (practice) in the final analysis is nothing other than the SUM total of the actions of individual who are separate. 

Individual action is LIKE a single experiment.  They are alike in that both individual action & a single experiment are poorly suited to the role of :

A philosophical criterion of (truth).

I do not have the background to intelligently comment, but did register this theme as provocative FOR further thought and wording.
And for generating intelligent commentary
