This article aims at analysing the relation between academic-scientific knowledge-production, scientific labour, and capital. Scientific knowledge-production is a specific form of activity, that is, the metabolic material exchange between human and the social environment, which is irreducible to forming a trans-historically universal Weltanschauung. Knowledge- production is always tool-mediated and the tools are historically determined. The limits of scientific knowledge are thus determined with the specific tools of knowledge-production and the rules and forms of labour dictated by the deployment of these tools, which, in turn, are constituted in response to socially determined needs and questions in the face of the historically specific modes of production – in particular capitalism
