Originally a philosopher

"Originally a philosopher, [Marx] realised that before he could put forward well-founded propositions on social evolution he must devote a lifetime of study to mastering political economy, social history and what today we call sociology, or the humane sciences. And this he did."

(From the foreward of Islam and Capitalism by Maxime Rodinson).

Which is better, the above Marxian approach or the a priori approach?
