On some issues of the theory
In V. E. Baranov's article “Neo-Marxism against Marxism” ( Filosofiya i Obschestvo 2013 No 2) the author gives a false interpretation of the content of my book “Philosophy of Economy” (co-authored by T. S. Vasilieva, published in Perm, PSU, 2005, republished in 2006 and 2013). The concept of the concrete-universal philosophical theory of dialectical materialism is wrongly regarded as a “mixture of theoretical and empirical categories”. Our critic of literalist understanding of the sixth thesis of K. Marx on Feuerbach, which is about the essence of man as “a combination of all social relations”, ignoring substantial essence of a man, is passed off by Baranov as a “critic of Marx”. He arrogates us the J. Galbraith's interpretation of socialism, some ideas of the “bourgeois sociologist” G. Soros, etc.
