Download or read book Communism Political Power and Personal Freedom in Marx written by Levy del Aguila Marchena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates communism in Marx’s writings, incorporating a consideration of communist politicity. The author outlines the arguments by which it is possible to sustain—from Marx—the idea that human emancipation against capital also means the elimination of the State, the public, and the political dimension of praxis. He also posits that the concrete tasks of the “management of the common” in a communist society require political mediations that allow us to confront the difference inherent to the personality of freely associated producers, as well as the ontological finitude from which no technical power can evade. Finally, assuming Marx as a starting point whose work remains an inescapable source for “thinking communism,” the book proposes a research agenda from Marx and beyond to continue in this imperative task. Levy del Aguila Marchena is Senior Professor and Chair of the Department of Management Sciences at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. He has published extensively on Marx, political philosophy, and applied ethics.
Download or read book Critical Marxism in Mexico written by Stefan Gandler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Critical Marxism in Mexico, Stefan Gandler, coming from the tradition of the Frankfurt School, reveals the contributions that Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría have made to universal thought. While in recent times Latin America has taken its distance from global power centers, and reorganised its political and economic relations, in philosophy the same tendency is barely visible. Critical Marxism in Mexico is a contribution to the reorganisation of international philosophical discussion, with Critical Theory as the point of departure. Despite having studied in Europe, where philosophical Eurocentrism remains virulent, Gandler opens his eyes to another tradition of modernity and offers an account of the life and philosophy of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, former senior faculty members at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Download or read book El gran pacificador del Infierno written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El GRAN PACIFICADOR DEL INFIERNO es un libro que nos sorprende por sus detalles escatológicos y la procedencia de sus personajes principales dentro de la novela. Tal parece que se nos anuncia la próxima verdad ominosa, ciega ante nuestras sabiolas entumecidas mientras caminamos entretenidos por entre el laberinto de los últimos acontecimientos faranduleros vomitados por las corporaciones mediáticas. El gran pacificador del infierno Nimrodis Filisteus Primerus no es un líder mundial completamente desamigado, pues aquí se nos narra por igual las particularidades del nacimiento e historia familiar y personal de un acólito que se le abraza. Ese otro es un líder religioso que se une en campaña universal usando su jelengue demagogia esquizofrénica; y es un niño que crece en las filas del ejército secreto de los jesuitas, asociado directamente con el Opus Dei. Graduado con olorosos aromas intelectuales en diferentes instituciones escolásticas como la Universidad Pontifical de Santo Tomas en Roma, y posteriormente convertido en el más joven 'General Superior' dentro de dicha Orden religiosa. Conoce a Nimrodis durante la coronación del último papa Benedictine Postremo I, y de la tarde a la noche histórica de los tiempos se convierte en el conocido Falso Profeta del Apocalipsis.Estos dos personajes llenos de juventud, sueños y ansias de poder absoluto no percatan que los poderes ocultos y oscuros del Hades controlan los canales, estructuras maquiavélicas, y enemistades dimensionales sordas al Creador de los siglos. CONTENIDO: -Prólogo. -Capítulo I: El encuentro de Flavio y Mariana. -Capítulo II: El niño santo Toujours Ponctuel. -Capítulo III: El nacimiento de Nimrodina. -Capítulo IV: El gran líder mundial. -Capítulo V: Yo soy Nimrodis Filisteus Primerus. -Capítulo VI: La Bestia y el Falso Profeta. -Acerca del autor.

Download or read book Engels 200 written by Frank Jacob and published by Büchner-Verlag. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Engels was one of the most important German thinkers of the 19th century and his writings are still important today. Addressing the pressing issues of his time, the broadly interested scholar Engels would write about many different topics, and thereby not only pave the way for a science-based socialism, but also for further studies in sociology, history, and philosophy. To highlight the value and impact of Engels' work as well as emphasize its relevance for major issues that will determine the 21st century, the present anthology assembles scholars from different countries and research fields to discuss how to read and gain insights from reading his works in our time. It also attempts to stimulate further research about Engels, who 200 years after his birth deserves to be fully brought out of the shadow of his friend and colleague Karl Marx.
Download or read book The Provisional Power written by Maurizio Ricciardi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, you can find an accurate and unusual analysis of the different ways in which Karl Marx investigates the political and social phenomenon of power. As a political militant, as a journalist, as a critic of capitalism and as a revolutionary theorist, Marx continually confronts the ways in which individuals and social classes enter into power relations. For Marx, however, there is no bourgeois power that proletarians can simply conquer and then use to their advantage. Workers’ power is always provisional because it constantly changes the very conditions of its own production.
Download or read book The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 and the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communism as a political movement attained global importance after the Bolsheviks toppled the Russian Czar in 1917. After that time the works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, especially the influential Communist Manifesto (1848), enjoyed an international audience. The world was to learn a new political vocabulary peppered with "socialism," "capitalism," "the working class," "the bourgeoisie," "labor theory of value," "alienation," "economic determinism," "dialectical materialism," and "historical materialism." Marx's economic analysis of history has been a powerful legacy, the effects of which continue to be felt world-wide. Serving as the foundation for Marx's indictment of capitalism is his extraordinary work titled Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts, written in 1844 but published nearly a century later. Here Marx offers his theory of human nature and an analysis of emerging capitalism's degenerative impact on man's sense of self and his creative potential. What is man's true nature? How did capitalism gain such a foothold on Western society? What is alienation and how does it threaten to undermine the proletariat? These and other vital questions are addressed as the youthful Marx sets forth his first detailed assessment of the human condition.
Download or read book Marx and Freud in Latin America written by Bruno Bosteels and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the untimely relevance of Marx and Freud for Latin America, thinkers alien to the region who became an inspiration to its beleaguered activists, intellectuals, writers and artists during times of political and cultural oppression. Bruno Bosteels presents ten case studies arguing that art and literature—the novel, poetry, theatre, film—more than any militant tract or theoretical essay, can give us a glimpse into Marxism and psychoanalysis, not so much as sciences of history or of the unconscious, respectively, but rather as two intricately related modes of understanding the formation of subjectivity.
Download or read book Germanofilia Origen estado de la cuesti n y perspectivas written by Luis Alberto Lugo Amador and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La germanofilia se define como la admiración excesiva por la cultura alemana y por los logros "positivos" de los alemanes como colectivo histórico. Desafortunadamente, a lo largo del siglo XX la germanofilia tuvo muy mala prensa, por razones que tienen que ver con las dos guerras mundiales (especialmente la segunda). Este libro pretende explicar el origen y desarrollo de la germanofilia, así como resaltar las razones por las cuales la misma debe recuperar su sitial como culturofilia respetable. En un mundo en el que las culturas nacionales parecen tambalearse, las culturofilias podrían operar como un fundamento importante de lo nacional, independientemente de que se encuentren vinculadas a actitudes registradas fuera del espacio nacional/cultural que las define. En ese sentido, la germanofilia y las demás culturofilias podrían insertarse cómodamente dentro de los esquemas globalizantes del siglo XXI.

This book was released on 1990-08-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eliseo Pérez Álvarez presenta en su libro a un Kierkegaard que va más allá de lo que leemos de él en muchas introducciones. Aquí, además, es el profeta, el denunciante de la injusticia social y de la hipocresía eclesiástica y religiosa. Eliseo "nos engancha entreteniéndonos con sus imágenes culinarias, al tiempo que nos lleva a reconocer cuanta razón tenía Kierkegaard en mucho de lo que dijo ..." In this book, the author presents a Kierkegaard that goes beyond what we read of him in many textbooks. Aside from a look at Kierkegaard the prophet, the denouncer of the social injustice and of the religious and ecclesiastical hypocrisy, Álvarez treats readers to a detailed examination of the times that formed Kierkegaard’s teachings and philosphies. Eliseo Perez-Alvarez studied theology and philosophy in Mexico City, Atlanta, Chicago and Copenhagen.

This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political scientists generally have been disposed to treat Italian Fascism--if not generic fascism--as an idiosyncratic episode in the special history of Europe.

Download or read book Bentham written by John Rowland Dinwiddy and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremy Bentham, the founder of utilitarianism, made a powerful impact on several major areas of thought and policy: ethics, jurisprudence, political and constitutional theory, and social and administrative reform. Yet from the start his ideas have been subject to misunderstanding and caricature. John Dinwiddy's Bentham is regarded as the best introduction to this important jurist and reformer. Dinwiddy examines the various components of Bentham's philosophy and shows how each was shaped by the radical rethinking entailed by the utilitarian approach. He also discusses interpretations of Benthamism and its contemporary significance and the controversial question of Bentham's influence on reform. Bentham is reproduced here in full together with three classic essays that deal with key issues in understanding Bentham: his conversion to political radicalism, the relations between private and public ethics, and his theory of adjudication. A new introduction and select bibliography by William Twining set the context and survey the developments in Bentham studies since the book's original publication in 1989.
