Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the conception of totality in Marxist literature from a methodological point of view in order to offer a solution to a longstanding problem in Marxist methodology, namely, the relationship between the method of inquiry and the method of exposition, the problem that has lingered without any definitive solution in the literature since the time Marx scribbled in 1857-58 the notes now known as the Grundrisse and Introduction. To this effect, after highlighting the shortcomings of two misconceptions of totality and Hegel's conception of totality, and demonstrating the lacunae of the existing interpretations offered by other Marxist thinkers, it advances what is proposed as a proper Marxian understanding of totality, through showing the development of this conception in Marx's works. Finally, it relates this particular development to the problem of the relationship between the method of inquiry and the method of exposition by relating and also distinguishing them as two moments included in the method of investigation.
