Psychology

Both Nietzsche (i.e., his irrationalism/perspectivism), and Marx(i.e., modern materialism) base their theories of knowledge(epistemology) on a similar view of reality of the flux (theirmetaphysics) - namely, the view that everything is in constantstate of change, of becoming. But they draw polar oppositeconclusions from this. For Nietzsche he holds the view that thereis no knowledge but only perspective, no facts but onlyinterpretation. Marx, however, believes the world is fundamentallyknowable, and that vast knowledge about the world is attainabledespite the underlying flux, the constant state of becoming of allthings. Explain how Marx/modern materialism is still able toaccount for a knowable world even with the flux, and thus rejectsNietzsche's irrationalism. (hint: quantitative and qualitativechange)
