Marxist Critiques of Positivism / K.Popper

[boxinghefner]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Ernest Mandel writes a little about the dialectical nature of Marxism, and criticises Popper in the Penguin Edition introduction to 'Capital' - but I could do with some more good books to check out.


Thanks!

I wrote a critique on Popperian Positivism a while ago, but it I don't criticize it from an explicitly Marxist perspective.

There was a discussion on Popper a while back on this forum in the philosophy section.

Here is one on philosophy and science: http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php...topic=50253&hl= (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=50253&hl=)
