| Summary: | In his attempt to liquidate Kant’s apriorism and to identify the genesis of the pure forms of thought in the form of commodities and coinage, Sohn-Rethel located a first instance of such a transformation among ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosophers. In particular, in Parmenides’ notion of “being”, he saw a reflection of the materiality of the coinage that was emerging at that time. This article shows the extent to which Sohn-Rethel’s theory, which has been heavily criticized not least for separating production from the exchange of goods, is still viable and can inspire further research. |
