Isi artikel

It is argued that Marxism is most useful for radical psychology in negative terms -as a form of critique. It has much less to offer as a positive theoretical programme. The binaries which make up Marxist epistemology (individual - social, culture - economy, base - superstructure, truth - falsity, real - illusory) constrain creative thought and lead to some by now predictable culdesac. The Foucauldian emphasis on studying onto formative practices is more useful. This claim is illustrated through a critical examination of Foster's construction of the discursive and extradiscursive, Osterkamp's premises regarding human nature, and the view of false consciousness developed by Augoustinos.
