• German source for this?

  What is the German source for this? Is this in Adorno or Horkheimer's collected works? A Suhrkamp publication? Archival? Or is there a recording? I'd like to read or hear this in German.

  
  

  BTW: Livingstone is an excellent, excellent translator.

• Dialectics it is wonderful.

  Dear sirs economists, philosophers.   The scientist of the new direction in Russian philosophy and the economic theory represents a subject of modern interpretation of a method of a triyedinstvo for application in the organization of economic (economic) systems.   Quintessence of Russian philosophy and the economic theory is the triyedinstvo or vseedinstvo method. Modern interpretation of this method, on the basis of achievements of the advanced directions in these areas also allows to speak about novelty of the direction. The innovative essence is that the methodology a triyedinstvo from the idealistic beginning is applied. This methodology is stated in my new book - Bases of methodology of Russian economic school. / V. M. Chefonov — Irkutsk: Publishing house БГУЭП, 2011. - 247с. ISBN 978-5-7253-2330-6     In what novelty of the direction as a whole?   In that the material on construction of economic systems on the basis of use of methodology of a triyedinstvo from the idealistic beginning is given. This methodology, without destroying the saved-up experience, simply builds on it the harmonizing beginning. Therefore this methodology works to the dress and together with before saved-up experience of the organization of economic systems.   In what being of this method?   This method of the organization of systems connects three subjects, three methods, three tendencies of life of to some extent isolated system of an economy in uniform system.     I will present a being of structure of this method.   Let's cause these three methods essentially, i.e. on the substance of their structure, to a construction principle:   Monistichesky method (metaphysics). Fundamental principle of the organization of communications of components of this method is the principle of domination of one of properties, elements, qualities in any system, as leads to formation of monistichesky (metaphysical) methodology of the organization of system of components involved in a turn. Dominating forms of components three is material, existential, ideal.   Dialectics. The dialectic method as the dominating organizing beginning accepts a methodological principle of a contradiction to use. Dialectic a method three is materialistic, existential, idealistic   Triyedinstvo. Triyedinstvo as a methodological principle is formed in the conditions of a harmonious form of the organization of all variety of the components involved in a turn. Therefore, there are three methods of a triyedinstvo is a triyedinstvo from the materialistic beginning, from existential, from idealistic.   The fundamental principle of each of methods the is a monad, a substance, a form. Which reveal in three subject and methodological bases. Three subjects: the material – existential - ideal. Three methods: monisticheskiya – dialectic - triune. Three tendencies or qualities of process of life: evolution – revolution - jump.   All these three subject and methodological bases exist at the same time in parallel consecutive взаимоувязанных communications.   In what novelty of application of this method in the organization of economic systems?   Novelty is in the economic theory that the modern economic system has three levels of persons of a property is a private property, state (collective), interstate. Any of current economic (philosophical) schools doesn't allow to organize harmoniously such three-level structure of economic process. Russian economic school on the methodological structure is based on a harmonious form of connection of three parties of economy (economy).   In what being of structure of modern economic (economic) system?   Economy (economy as a whole) it:   Three types of work necessary for performance of economic functions (production, an exchange, goods use) are physical, administrative, intellectual.   Three spheres of application of these three types of work are material, administrative (public sector), spiritual.   Three forms of high-quality transformations of economic (economic) process are an evolutionary way of development, it is a revolutionary way of development, it is jump in development.   Such structure of economy (economy) also allows to speak about need of application of methodology of Russian economic school or a triyedinstvo from the idealistic beginning.
