A symposium paper on Moishe Postone's Time, Labor and Social Domination that focuses on Postone's failure to address the persistent ambiguity of Marx's concept of labor that facilitates the referencing of Marx's writings in markedly different arguments about the theory of value. Rather, Postone incorporates this ambiguity into his own argument, resulting in inconsistencies that strain his already dubious concept of abstract labor as self-grounding & bound up in production rather than as a category of exchange. 7 References.
