In 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 (...)

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 (...)

22 March 2009C L R James 1939 The Right of Self-Determination and the Negro in the United States of North Americas
Source: SWP New York Convention Resolutions, 11 July 1939.

In the cities of the North and East, the Negroes form only a small minority of the population, generally less than 10 percent. (...) -

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 (...) -
Religion : its social roots and role
2 June 2008, by Robert ParisDefinitions of religion, like definitions of the state, generally tell us more about the social and political allegiances of the author of a given definition than about the true nature of religion or the state. Loyalties – that is, class interests and class outlook – are transferred into definitions; especially is this true of religion. Typical of such definitions is a theologian’s formula for Christianity as ‘the synthesis of the highest aspirations of man’. The fact that definitions are (...)

Le rôle des rêves, Freud
27 novembre 2009, par Robert Paris"Le rêveur a à sa disposition le mode d’expression symbolique qu’il ne connaît ni ne reconnaît à l’état de veille."
Sigmund Freud
La fonction des rêves - Le rêve anxieux
Maintenant que nous savons que tout au long de la nuit, le préconscient est orienté vers le désir de dormir, nous pouvons suivre le processus du rêve avec une bonne compréhension. Mais résumons d’abord ce que nous savons déjà de ce processus. Nous avons vu que les résidus diurnes sont restés de l’activité de veille (...) -
Hegel’s Philosophy of History - Introduction
3 December 2021Philosophy 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 (...)
