Let's grandfather Marx speak:

Now, humans "must prove the truth, that is, the reality and power, the this-sidedness of [Feuerbach's] thinking into practice. The dispute over the reality of non-reality of thinking which is isolated from practice is a purely scholastic question." Merrifield paraphrases: Philosophers can argue about truth until they are blue in the face. But they'll never find real truth in hallowed university debating rooms. Abstract thinking can be tested out only by being put through its paces, by making it right because it has been made to work.

question: how does that relate to the book? it's obviously marxist, but.. how did the metromarxist scholars discussed in the book relate to this issue? i'm guessing it has to do with the way they relate to the city? can you explain more about that?
