ABSTRACT
If the two approaches under discussion can be traced back to the central theses specific to them, then it is appropriate to orient a comparison of the two approaches to these core theses. This will be the purpose of the current chapter. The procedure followed is, firstly, to present the Marxian approach to specific themes, and then, based on a critical examination of the approach and an analysis of its false assessments, to sketch an explanation of the structural problems in modern Western rationalism oriented toward Max Weber and the voluntaristic theory of action.
