Lenine (Septembre 1917)
CLASS SOCIETY AND THE STATE
1. The State: A Product of the Irreconcilability of Class Antagonisms
What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred (...)

BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
7 December 2021BACON – 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 (...) -
The dialectic of geology
17 June 2008from " Reason in Revolt: Marxism and Modern Science"
By Alan Woods and Ted Grant
There is an English saying, "as solid as the ground under our feet." This comforting idea, however, is very far from the truth. The earth beneath our feet is not as solid as it seems. The rocks, the mountain ranges, the continents themselves, are in a continuous state of movement and change, the exact nature of which has only begun to be understood in the latter half of this century. Geology is the (...) -
Revolution and counter-revolution in Spain
19 September 2010FOR the new generations moving into political life a study of the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39 contains valuable lessons. This book, hammered out in time with the dramatic events it describes, stands in direct line with the great writings of Marx and Engels on the Revolutions of 1848 and the Paris Commune and Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution. No doubt later historical research has been able to uncover from the record a more detailed account of the facts, and the reports of (...)

Claude Lévi-Strauss 1962 History and Dialectic
12 August 2019, by Robert ParisIn the course of this work I have allowed myself, not without ulterior motive, to borrow a certain amount of Sartre’s vocabulary. I wanted to lead the reader to face a problem, the discussion of which will serve to introduce my conclusion. The problem is to what extent thought that can and will be both anecdotal and geometrical may yet be called dialectical. The savage mind totalizes. It claims indeed to go very much further in this direction than Sartre allows dialectical reason, for, on (...)

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

The growth of socialism, Eugen Debs
23 August 2008The growth of socialism
Eugen Debs
Not many of those schooled in old-party politics have any adequate conception of the true import of the labor movement. They read of it in the papers, discuss it in their clubs, criticise labor unions, condemn walking delegates, and finally conclude that organized labor is a thing to be tolerated so long, only, as it keeps within “proper bounds,” but to be put down summarily the moment its members, like the remnants of Indian tribes on the western (...) -
Communism and stalinism in USA
27 September 2008, by Robert ParisThe End of the Comintern And The Prospects of Labor Internationalism James P. Cannon
Comrade Chairman, Comrades:
The formal dissolution of the Communist International is undoubtedly an event of great historical significance, even though everybody understands that it is simply the formal certification of a fact that was long since accomplished. Some of the bourgeois commentators and politicians may exaggerate a bit when they speak of the dissolution of the Communist International as the (...) -
Discontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
28 November 2017, by Robert ParisDiscontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
Stephen Jay Gould writes in "The Structure of the Theory of Evolution"
"Many evolutionists consider that a strict continuity between micro and macro-evolution is an essential ingredient of Darwinism and the necessary corollary of natural selection. (...) Thomas Henry Huxley had separated the natural selection from gradualism and warned Darwin that his frank and unsubstantiated adherence to gradualism could undermine his (...) -
The ABC of Materialist Dialectics
31 May 2014, by Robert ParisDialectic is neither fiction nor mysticism, but a science of the forms of our thinking insofar as it is not limited to the daily problems of life but attempts to arrive at an understanding of more complicated and drawn-out processes. The dialectic and formal logic bear a relationship similar to that between higher and lower mathematics.
I will here attempt to sketch the substance of the problem in a very concrete form. The Aristotelian logic of the simple syllogism starts from the (...)
