Coach cut off from the engine

The task before Marxists obviously is how to change the world. A basic dissatisfaction with the world is at the core not dissimilar to the Buddhist or the Vedantic variety. But why the world is the way it is isn't probed much. That the change must come from the same modalities is overlooked by overstating deployment of human agency.

A look at biodiversity and food chain gives an idea of the complexity involved. Suffering and exploitation in the human world is nothing in comparison to the magnitude found in the entire cosmos. It's not true that nature is neutral as an evolutionary purpose is at work. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been kind enough to bring this fact to the domain of philosophy.

Thus, the immanent frame is an inchoate view. A derailed coach cut off from the engine. Makes good content but lacks ontological coherence. Utilitarian and applied aspects are fine but must not be overpowering. TNM (19.01.21)

Rather, we should be free to transform the normative conception of ourselves and our institutions should reflect that freedom.” (225) Such a view is dear to my heart.
