  • Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity
    4 December 2021

    C.L.R. James 1947
    Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity
    Mankind has obviously reached the end of something. The crisis is absolute. Bourgeois civilisation is falling apart, and even while it collapses, devotes its main energies to the preparation of further holocausts. Not remote states on the periphery but regimes contending for world power achieve the most advanced stages of barbarism known to history. What civilised states have ever approached Nazi Germany and Stalinist (...)

    BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
    There was already being accomplished the abandonment of the content which lies beyond us, and which through its form has lost the merit it possessed of being true, and is become of no significance to self-consciousness or the certainty of self and of its actuality; this we see for the first time consciously expressed, though not as yet in a very perfect form, by Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. He is therefore instanced as in the (...)

  • Critical Battle Against French Materialism
    23 March 2022, by Robert Paris

    Critical Battle Against French Materialism
    Karl Marx, The Holy Family
    “Spinozism dominated the eighteenth century both in its later French variety, which made matter into substance, and in deism, which conferred on matter a more spiritual name.... Spinoza’s French school and the supporters of deism were but two sects disputing over the true meaning of his system.... The simple fate of this Enlightenment was its decline in romanticism after being obliged to surrender to the reaction (...)

  • Hegel and Schelling (1802) - The Critical Journal of Philosophy
    3 January 2022

    IN WHATEVER DOMAIN OF ART or [speculative] science it is employed, criticism requires a standard which is just as independent of the person who makes the judgment as it is of the thing that is judged – a standard derived neither from the singular [i.e. the immediate occasion for critical judgment] nor from the specific character of the [judging] subject, but from the eternal and unchangeable model [Urbild] of what really is [die Sache selbst]. Just as the idea of fine art is not first (...)

  • Hegel’s Philosophy of History - Introduction
    3 December 2021

    Philosophy of History
    Introduction
    Geographical Basis of History.
    Contrasted with the universality of the moral Whole and with the unity of that individuality which is its active principle, the natural connection that helps to produce the Spirit of a People, appears an extrinsic element; but inasmuch as we must regard it as the ground on which that Spirit plays its part, it is an essential and necessary basis. We began with the assertion that, in the History of the World, the Idea (...)

  • Hegel’s Philosophy of History - Part I
    11 December 2021

    Introduction
    Part I: The Oriental World
    We have to begin with the Oriental World, but not before the period in which we discover States in it. The diffusion of Language and the formation of races lie beyond the limits of History. History is prose, and myths fall short of History. The consciousness of external definite existence only arises in connection with the power to form abstract distinctions and assign abstract predicates; and in proportion as a capacity for expressing Laws (of (...)

  • Readings Upon Dialectics
    22 February 2018

    Readings Upon Dialectics
    “The whole world, natural, historical, intellectual, is represented as a process – i.e., as in constant motion, change, transformation, development; and the attempt is made to trace out the internal connection that makes a continuous whole of all this movement and development.”
    Engels, Socialism: Utopian & Scientific
    "It is an eternal cycle in which matter moves, a cycle that certainly only completes its orbit in periods of time for which our terrestrial (...)

  • Quelles sont les idées de Dietzgen – What Are the Ideas of Dietzgen
    8 juillet 2018, par Robert Paris

    Quelles sont les idées de Dietzgen – What Are the Ideas of Dietzgen
    Lénine :
    « J. Dietzgen exprimait, dès 1869, dans son livre sur l’Essence du travail cérébral, la même idée qu’Engels, non sans tenter, il est vrai, comme il en avait la coutume, de « concilier » confusément le matérialisme et l’idéalisme. Laissons de côté ces tentatives, explicables dans une large mesure par la polémique de Dietzgen contre le matérialisme de Büchner étranger à la dialectique, et demandons nous quelles (...)

  • Karl Marx - A Critique of The German Ideology
    20 August 2019, by Robert Paris

    Preface
    Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away. Let us revolt (...)
