Marx is not a philosopher, a historian, an economist, a political
scientist, or a sociologist. He is not even a scholar of the first
rank in any of those disciplines. Nor even a talented professor who
prepared a good multidisciplinary dish cooked with all these
ingredients. Marx's place is quite outside all that. Marx is the
beginning of the radical critique of modern times, starting with the
critique of the real world. This radical critique of capitalism
demands and allows discovery of the basis of market alienation and,
inseparable from it, the exploitation of labor. The foundational
status of the concept of value derives from this radical critique. It
alone allows a grasp of the objective laws that govern the
reproduction of the system, underlying those surface movements
perceptible through direct observation of reality. Marx links to this
critique of the real world the critique of discourses about that
reality : those of philosophy, economics, sociology, history, and
political science. This radical critique uncovers their true nature
which, in the last analysis, is always an apologetic one, legitimizing
the practices of capital's dominating power.
