Scientific and ethical appraisal of capitalism are compatible, contrary to Jameson

Evidence

There is in fact no inconsistency between the scientific analysis and the ethical appraisal of a social phenomenon, and by suggesting otherwise Jameson is likely to merely to encourage the ascription to him of a Hegelian teleology in which progress is woven into the texture of history. — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 492

Categorization

• QUESTION: Worth probing: where exactly does Jameson claim to go ‘beyond good and evil,’ and how does that undermine his Marxism?
• XREF: connects to: Ethical critiques of capitalism undermine the very socialism they advocate — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 466; Jameson’s periodization of postmodernism rests on intuition, not empirical economics — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism: A Marxist…, 497; Hayek’s market-morals argument drew on explicitly ethical justifications of capitalism. — Jessica Whyte, The Morals of the Market: Human Rights…, 491 (+1 more)
