  1. I. Marx's analysis of commodity exchange—a reply to Carver.Ulrich Steinvorth - 1976 - Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 19 (1-4):99 – 108.
    Carver's interpretation of Marx's value theory (Terrell Carver, ?Marx's Commodity Fetishism?, Inquiry, Vol. 18 [1975]) is accepted, but his rejection of it criticized by explicating the reasons Marx gives for his theory after his faulty analysis of exchange-value at the very beginning of Capital. The central concept of abstract labour is shown to relate commodity exchange to other forms of distribution; by being compared to these the function of commodity exchange is recognized as the attachment of an amount of abstract (...)

  • I. labour: Marx's concrete universal.C. J. Arthur - 1978 - Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 21 (1-4):87 – 103.
    This contribution to the debate over Marx's theory of value gives an account of his concept of ?abstract labour?. Contrary to Stanley Moore {Inquiry, Vol. 14 [1971]), Marx never abandons his early critique of the Hegelian ?Concept'; for he gives a material basis to the conception of social labour as concretely universal. If, in analysing the commodity form of the product of labour, Marx characterizes the labour that forms the substance of value as ?abstractly universal labour?, the priority of the (...)
