[edit] Marxism irrationalist?
He criticised what he saw as Marx's rationalist and utopian tendencies, believing that at its heart Marxism was a pessimistic and irrationalist philosophy
This appears to a mistake. In the previous sentence it is asserted that Sorel criticized Marx's rationalism, and under irrationalism Sorel himself is mentioned as a believer in this ideology. I am aware of the dialectical nature of the history of ideas, but this sounds wrong to me. Can anyone shed some light? 88.152.198.21 14:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
The point is that Sorel dismissed the few places where Marx was at his most rationalistic and utopian as being out of keeping with the spirit of the vast bulk of Marx's thought Hanshans23 18:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
