Empiricism, Atomism, Capitalism

As Kant reminds, Reason is more than, as Hume conceives it, a source of abstraction--it is a power of Synthesizing.  Thus, Hume's relegation of it to calculation in the service of Passion presupposes not only the Epistemological primacy of the Senses, but the Logical one of Atomism, as well.  Accordingly, insofar as Smith's Capitalist model is derived from Hume's system, it is implicitly Individualistic, with respect to which his Invisible Hand is anomalous.  So, conceived as governed by a Synthesizing principle, i. e. Dialectical Materialism, a fundamental distinction of Marxism from Capitalism is that of Rationalism to Atomism.
