ABSTRACT

The question of the operational logical apparatus working in Marx’s “Capital” is topical, not only in connection with the necessity of defending Marxism and the foundations of its philosophy, but also in connection with the requirements of the concrete sciences, in particular, those of physics and mathematics. The operational logical apparatus adduced in the courses of traditional logic, called forth to ensure the logical movement of scientific thought, does not guarantee the banning of false identifications, antinomies or disjunctions and, even of logical arbitrariness in scientific thought. In view of the fact that the logic of “Capital” and of the “Two manuscripts on the differential calculus” of Karl Marx permits in the right place, a recourse to truth equally with structural disjunction as well as with conjunction—the actualisation of the formal-logical kind of consistency of the movement of scientific thought becomes impossible.
