On the problem of what happens to a particular thinkers ideas as they get passed on and used and transformed by later generations, let me paraphrase the philosopher William Bartley: "Our ideas are autonomus in just the same sense that Marx had in mind: they outgrow our control, cross our expectations, nullify our calculations, and transcend our purposes. They are a product not fully known to their producers." Greg Ransom Dept. of Philosophy UC-Riverside
