Many suggest that Marx must be revised in the light of things that have been written since he died.

Humanism—in simplest terms, the belief in the unity of the human race and man’s potential Id perfect himself‘ ‘his’;own;eiforts=has--»had---a~~-~long and varied history sUa the Greek philosophers. Terentius’ statement, “I believe that nothing human“Falien to me,” was an expression of the Humanist spirit, echoed centuries later by Goethe's “Man carries within himself not only his individuality but all of humanity, with all its potentialities, although he can realize these potentialities in only a limited way because of the external limitations of his individual existence.” Over the ages some Humanists have believed in the innate goodness of man or the existence of God, while others have not. Some Humanist thinl<er_s—a.mong them Leibniz, Goethe, Kierkegaard, and Marx—pa.rticularly stressed the need to develop individuality to the greatest possible extent _iI1__0!'der to achieve the highest hannbhy and universality. -' But all Humanists have shared a belief in the poss_i_bilinty__9f man's perfectibility, which, whether they believedmin rI1E‘rTéE'2T"iEf grace or not, they saw as dependent upon man's own efforts\(which is why Luther was not a Humanist). Nonreligious‘ Humanists like Gianbattista Vioo and Karl Marx carried this fiuther to say that man makes his own history and is his own creator. Because Humanists believe in the unity of humanity and have faith in the future of man, they have never been fanatics. After the Reformation they saw the limitations of both the Catholic and the Protestant positions, because viii rnrnooocrron they judged not from the narrow angle of one particular organization or power group, but from the vantage point of humanity. Humanism has always emerged as a reaction A to a threat to mankind: inrhe r_{_é;_if5ié_$an9e, to the threat of religious fanaticism; in theHEnlightenrnent, to extreme nationalism and theuenslavement of man by the machine and economic interests. The revival of Humanism today is a new reaction to this latter threat in a morlemintensified for-m—the fear that man may become the slave of things, the prisoner of circumstances he himself has created-and the wholly new threat to man_l_dnd’s physical existence posed by nuclear weapons. ' This reaction is being felt in all camps—Catl1olic Protes- tant, Marxist, liberal.

Marx held that free and independent man could exist only in a social and economic system that, by its ration- ality and abundance, brought to an end the epoch of “pre- history” and opened the epoch of “human history,” which would make the full development of the individual the condition for the full development of society, and vice versa. Hence he devoted the greater part of his life to the study of capitalist economics and the organization of the Erich Fromm ix working class in the hopes of instituting a socialist society that would be the basis for the development of a new Humanism. Marx believed that the Working class would lead in the transformation of society because it was at once the most dehumanized and alienated class, and potentially the most powerful, since the functioning of society depended upon it.

    Uncovering Marx's Yet Unpublished Writings Kevin B. Anderson Published in Critique (Glasgow), No. 30-31 (1998), pp. 179-187 [reprinted in Marx, edited by Scott Meikle (Ashgate 2002); translated into Turkish in Insancil, Istanbul, May 1997] When Lawrence Krader published his historic transcription of Marx's Ethnological Notebooks 25 years ago, a new window was opened into Marx's thought. What in published form had become 250 pages of notes by Marx on Lewis Henry Morgan and other anthropologists which he had compiled in his last years, 1880-81, showed us as never before a Marx concerned as much with gender relations and with non-Western societies such as India, pre-Colombian Mexico, and the Australian aborigines, as well as ancient Ireland, as he was with the emancipation of the industrial proletariat. As will be shown below, to this day there are a significant number of writings by Marx on these and other issues which have never been published in any language. Why this is still the case in 1997, 114 years after Marx's death, is the subject of this essay, in which I will also take up plans now in progress in Europe to publish many of these writings for the first time. The problem really begins with Engels and continues today. While Engels labored long and hard to edit and publish what he considered to be a definitive edition of Vol. I of Capital in 1890, and brought out Vols. II and III of that work in 1885 and 1894 by carefully editing and arranging Marx's draft manuscripts, Engels did not plan or even propose the publication of the whole of Marx's writings.

    INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON DIPLOMATIC TRAINING 32nd Meeting of Deans and Directors of Diplomatic Academies and Institutes of International Relations Diplomatic Academy of Vienna 23 – 26 June 2004 The Diplomatic Academy of Vienna hosted the 32nd Meeting of Deans and Directors with its usual friendly hospitality and professional efficiency. The Meeting this year was enhanced by a special Symposium, ‘A Changing Europe in a Changing World’, to mark the 250th anniversary of the Oriental Academy and the 40th anniversary of the Vienna Diplomatic Academy. There was in addition a Reception given by the Embassy of the United States, and a memorable Festakt at the Vienna City Hall. After the Forum many members had the pleasure of an excursion to the Burgenland, followed by the annual Garden Party at the Diplomatic Academy. The Meeting commenced on 23 June with sub-meetings of the five regional groups: Africa: (Smail Benamara, chair) Four countries were represented at this first meeting of a specifically African group. They had discussed convening a Forum for the regional discussion of human resources development, training and challenges particular to African foreign ministries. They hoped to develop programmes of exchange between staff and students in their institutions, and perhaps with institutions in other regions. They would prepare two documents: (i) a list of institutes with their contact details; (ii) a draft proposal for their future work. Asia: (Hideaki Ueda, chair) Sixteen countries were represented, from East Asia to the Middle East. They had discussed principally training for economic diplomacy, both for the promotion of the national economic interest and for dealing with the international financial institutions and regional organisations.

  • Clases Sociales Y Estado En El Pensamiento Marxista: Cuestiones De Método
    Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Programa de Posgrado en Estudios Latinoamericanos Taller de investigación: clases sociales y Estado en el pensamiento marxista: cuestiones de método Profesor: Matari Pierre Email: [email protected] Semestre 2021-1 (septiembre-diciembre 2020) 15 sesiones de 4 horas (jueves 16 a 20 horas) Objetivo general El análisis de las clases sociales y de las formas de Estado estructura el pensamiento social y político marxista. Sin embargo, estos conceptos no fueron claramente definidos ni por Marx ni por Engels. Los comentarios posteriores se apoyan en algún aspecto o aforismo de sus obras. De suerte que ambas nociones entrañan problemas de teoría y de método que tensan el marxismo desde sus orígenes: el determinismo económico del proceso histórico; la antropología subyacente a las definiciones de las clases y de sus relaciones recíprocas; la naturaleza específica de lo político y de las formas de Estado. El taller propone introducir y discutir estas tres cuestiones a partir de una selección de textos de representantes, comentaristas y críticos del pensamiento social y político marxista del siglo XX. El programa está organizado en dos grandes partes divididas en tres secciones cada una. Introducción (dos sesiones) Lecturas obligatorias: Eric J. Hobsbawm, “La contribución de Karl Marx a la historiografía”. Shlomo Avineri, El pensamiento social y político de Marx (capítulo I “Reconsideración de la filosofía política de Hegel).

    DÖW DOKUMENTATIONSARCHIV DES ÖSTERREICHISCHEN WIDERSTANDES FOLGE 216 Mitteilungen JUNI 2014 „... in diesem elenden Nest“ Deportationen Wien – Opole, Februar 1941 Im Februar und März 1941 wurden rund 5000 Jüdinnen und Juden vom Wiener Aspangbahnhof in das „Generalgouvernement“ (im ehemaligen Polen) deportiert. Die Opfer dieser Massendeportationen wurden auf die polnischen Kleinstädte Opole, Kielce, Modlibor- zyce, Lagow und Opatow im Distrikt Lublin verteilt. Der Reichsstatthalter in Wien Baldur von Schirach, seit August 1940 im Amt, kam damit dem Wunsch der Wiener NSDAP nach Freimachung jüdischer Wohnungen nach. Nach fünf Transporten wurde das Programm, das Wien „judenfrei“ machen sollte, unterbrochen (bis Herbst 1941) – Vorrang für das NS-Regime hatte jetzt die Vorbereitung des An- griffs auf die Sowjetunion (22. Juni 1941). Ab 1941 bis zum Abschluss der Massendeportationen im Oktober 1942 wurden von Wien aus mehr als 48.000 jüdische Frauen, Män- ner und Kinder in Ghettos, Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager deportiert – weniger als 2000 von ihnen überlebten. In Wien befan- den sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt nur noch circa 8000, zumeist in „Mischehe“ mit einem nicht-jüdischen Partner lebende Jüdinnen und Juden. Diese Zahl sollte sich in der Folge durch eine Reihe von kleineren bzw. Einzeltransporten noch stark verringern. Die Wiener jü- dische Gemeinde, einst eine der größten der Welt, wurde nahezu vernichtet, die anderen jüdischen Gemeinden Österreichs praktisch zur Gänze ausgelöscht. Insgesamt kamen über 65.500 ÖsterreicherInnen im Zuge der Shoah ums Leben; zu rund 63.800 davon konnte das DÖW Namen und biographische Eckdaten eruieren.

  • Wittgenstein, Marx, and Language Criticism the Philosophies of Self-Conciousness
    Wittgenstein, Marx, and Language Criticism The Philosophies of Self-Conciousness NORBERTO ABREU E SILVA NETO Preliminarily I must say this paper results from researches belonging to a larger project of study on Karl Marx’s philosophy I am carrying out, and that the bringing of Wittgenstein and Marx together here presented does not have the aim of trying to prove or to suggest Marx exerted upon Wittgenstein’s philosophy some kind of indirect or second hand influence. My idea is that since they developed their work in dialogue with the same philosophical traditions this fact would make it possible to find out ways of establishing continuity between their philosophies. So, in this work I will bring out some connections I am working on with the aim of trying to read Wittgenstein as a materialist philosopher. 1. The uses of philosophy During twenty years (1839-1859) Marx dedicated himself to systematic philosophical research and to meditation. In the Preface to his Criticism of Political Economy,1 he exposes an assessment he made of his intellectual development during this period. He declares that through his studies and the essays and other works written during these years he did not have the aim of outlining a new system of thought or a new philosophy, but that he simply was only searching for the conducting thread of his studies; and that the works he wrote were not for printing, but for his personal edification. And, particularly, about the writing of The German Ideology, he reports that, when he and Engels decided to write this book, they aimed at developing their common conception in opposition to the ideological views of German 1 Marx 1963, 271, 274.

  • New Marx Publications: a MEGA Update the Ongoing Marx-Engels
    New Marx Publications: A MEGA Update KEVIN B. ANDERSON The ongoing Marx-Engels Gesamtausgabe (Complete Writings, or MEGA) certainly shows that the serious scholarly publication of Marx’s work is continuing. Perhaps more importantly, it also suggests that there may still be some significant parts of Marx’s work that have yet to see the light of day. Some indications of this came in December 1998, when the first post-Stalinist volume of the MEGA came off the press at Akademie Verlag in Berlin. The last volume had appeared in 1992, just after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Anumber of leading newspapers and magazines, espe- cially German ones, reported the December 1998 publication of the new MEGA vol- ume. Articles appeared in German in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , the Frankfurter Rundschau, Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Die Zeit. Outside Germany, Le Soir (Belgium), Pravda (Russia), and the Asahi Shimbun (Japan) also covered the story, but it unfortu- nately received little attention in the English-speaking world. Since then, two more volumes have appeared, both in 1999, with two more scheduled to appear soon. MEGA Volume IV/3, the one published in December 1998, offers new background on Marx’s development during the period between the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844) and the German Ideology (1846) as well as the Communist Manifesto (1848). Volume IV/3 contains Marx’s 400-page 1844–7 notebooks on leading political economists of the time such as Louis Say, Jean Charles Leonard Sismondi, Charles Babbage, Andrew Ure, and Nassau Senior. None of these texts has been previously published in any language.

  • Ms Nabilam Gandhianeconomi
    M.K.Gandhi was born on Oct 2, 1869, @ Porbander From 1893 to 1914 Gandhi rendered great service to the cause of racial equality in South Africa. His philosophy of passive resistence, as it was known then, against the unjust persecution of the Indians in South Africa won the hearts even of his opponents He served the people of South Africa for two decades and came back to India in 1915. In 1920 Gandhi started the non-cooperation movement. In 1930 he led the ‘salt satyagraha’( Dandi march) In 1919, he conducted the civil disobedience movement and 1942 he launched the Quit India movement On 30 January 1948 he was shot dead by an Indian, named Nathu Ram Godse ,who did not agree with his views on political matters HIS ECONOMIC IDEAS Gandhi did not believe in any definite scheme of economics thought. His economic ideas are found scattered all over his writings and speeches. To him,economics was a part of way of life and hence his economic ideas are part of his general philosophy of life Gandhi’s economic ideas are based on 4 cardinal principles: truth , nonviolence, dignity of labour, and simplicity. Gandhi said that the only means of attaining eternal happiness is to lead a simple life. He believed in the principle of ‘simple living and high thinking’ He was an apostle of non-violence, and his economics may be called as economics of non-violence. The principle of non-violence is the soul of Gandhian philosophy. He believed that violence in any form will not bring any kind of peace because it breeds greater violence.

  • From Marxism to Total Revolution and the Leadership Role of Loknayak Jaya Prakash Narayan: a Study
    Vol-6 Issue-3 2020 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 From Marxism to Total Revolution and the leadership role of Loknayak Jaya Prakash Narayan: A study Paritosh Barman Assistant Professor& Ph.D. Scholar Department of Political Science Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University West Bengal, India Abstract JP never compromised people's interest with any ‘ism’ in his life. Jayprakash was an active supporter of the Sarvodaya Movement started by Gandhiji and spearheaded by Vinobha Bhave after Independence. JP’s Sarvodaya meant a new order to set up a classless and stateless society for the people’s socialism in the fifties. To eradicate the dominant party politics, he proposed the concept of partyless democracy and communitarian democracy to develop democratic values and culture. He devoted himself to establish people’s democracy eliminating power politics. Sampurna Kranti or total revolution was the last intellectual contribution of Jayprakash in his unending quest to seek and set up such a socio-economic and political order in the country which would turn India into a democratic, participatory, prosperous nation in the world. This study will focus on the social, political contributions of JP after Independence. He devoted himself to purify the political, socio- economic and moral aspects of the country and to the welfare of all. Keywords: Sarvodaya, Socialism, partyless democracy, non-violence, Total Revolution. I. Introduction: Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan (JP) was a freedom fighter and a social reformer. Jayprakash, who was dedicated himself to free the nation and never wanted any power or position for himself. JP always wanted to serve people as much as he could.

  • Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47
    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics.
