Alfred Sohn-Rethel, die Vorsokratiker und die kritische Liquidierung des Apriorismus

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.
