I was reading Mind and Tissue and found a really intriguing point about what Ray calls "non-Hegelian marxists":
This was the first time I ever heard of "non-Hegelian marxists" existing. Personally, I've always been averse to Marxism because Hegelian dialectics do not make sense to me. And while I do know that Marx was averse to Hegel's idealism, he based his writings largely on Hegel's dialectics. With this in mind, do "non-Hegelian marxists" really exist? What exactly is a "non-Hegelian marxist", and who could I read to understand what this really means?One pole of perception and world-view is represented by surrealists, non-Hegelian marxists (this is an important distinction, since academic marxists in the U.S. are hard to distinguish from Hegelians) and phenomenologists, and another pole by structuralists, mechanists, and idealists of a Cartesian or Platonic sort.
