    Neo-Marxist epistemology
    I've done a bit of reading of Marxist theories of epistemology, wherein knowledge relates to the concept of dialectical materialism. Are there any theorists or books who write about neo-Marxist ideas of epistemology?

    How, for neo-Marxists, is knowledge produced, and what knowledge is true? Also, how do they view the world and what is it made up of?
