Steve,
Ilyenkov's Dialectics of the Abstract and Concrete is his longest, but I found it the clearest and best organized of his works. You might also want to review part I ("History of Dialectics") of his Dialectical Logic particularly chapters 5 (on Hegel) and 6 (on Feuerbach).
Sorry about the somewhat telegraphic and disorganized state of my last message, got somewhat worked up after finding that a very Hegelian theory (modified to conform to materialist paradigms of knowledge and thought) is hidden in EVI's "The Concept of the Ideal."
Regards,
Victor

Victor,
Got your latest. I am still in catch-up mode, but I am reading. I want to get to that Panofsky paper, too - I really like what Phil and Paul got started, I hope others chime in - and soon, I look forward to the quarterly paper from MCA that xmca will be discussing . I'm now in the middle of Ilyenkov's Dialectics of the Abstract and Concrete chapter 3, which has a terrific section on Hegel relevant to some of the things you discuss in your most recent post, so I will be looking those over together. I so appreciate our ongoing discussion about the ideal, it is very valuable, and very central to many core theoretical issues. Lets keep it up, but take it slow. I also want to ponder Michael Glassman's question about Wartofsky's artifact scheme - is it dialectical? - he sure asked a dandy of a question. Gotta run now.
Highest regards,
- Steve
