Hegel for Radicals: The Science of Logic II
The MEP's recurring series Hegel for Radicals continues our reading of Hegel's magnum opus, The Science of Logic, Part II. Familiarity with this work greatly aids any reading of Marx's Capital.

And even with that counter-trend, what accounts for what some have called the Marxist revival, a new trend of theorizing and strategizing on the left.
