Abstract
In 1931 Ezra Pound remarked that "Anything that happens to mind in England has usually happened somewhere else first" (1954: 30). During the 1960s something did happen to mind in England. The "New Left", associated with the journal New Left Review, took over and promoted the Marxism of Louis Althusser, together with his rationalist method, which the New Left tried to inject into the empiricism of the native tradition.
