  • Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zoeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) dr section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

For a short review of the progress of ethical debate within Marxism see Agnes Heller, 'The Legacy of Marxian Ethics Today', in Praxis International 1 ( 4 ), 1982. Heller's own position is a fusion of Marx and Kant, although she acknowledges that this approach was specifi­ cally rejected by Marx (p. 362); also Steven Lukes, Marxism and Morality (New York: Oxford University Press and Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1985), pp. 14-26. 8. For example, Lukes, Marxism and Morality, p. 146. I use 'Marxian' to denote that which can be attributed to Marx's own thought, and this does not include Engels; 'Marxist' denotes all those who accept, in one version or another, Marx's critique of capitalism, his production­ oriented theory of historical development, and his goal of a classless society.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science
    The London School of Economics and Political Science «Les Belles Années du Plan»? Hendrik de Man and the Reinvention of Western European Socialism, 1914-36 ca. Tommaso Milani A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2017. 1 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgment is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,843 words. 2 ABSTRACT The thesis discusses the trajectory of the Belgian socialist thinker and activist Hendrik de Man (1885-1953) between 1914 and 1936 ca, with particular attention to his endeavours to renew Western European social democracy after the Great War. The first half of the thesis deals with de Man’s theoretical evolution. Having become convinced of the inadequacy of orthodox Marxism as a conceptual framework for the Left while serving as soldier and diplomat during WWI, de Man sought to overcome the split between reformism and revolutionary socialism by developing an ethical conception of socialism outlined in the book Zur Psychologie des Sozialismus (1926) and, subsequently, by elaborating planism, a democratic socialist ideology supposedly more in tune with the socio-economic conditions of the 1930s.

  • Fifty Years of Struggle Over Marxism 1883-1932
    Appendix to Rick Kuhn ‘Marxist crisis theory to 1932 and to the present: reflections on Henryk Grossman’s Fifty years of struggle over Marxism’ presented at the Society of Heterodox Economists Conference, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 2-3 December 2013 Henryk Grossmann, Fünfzig Jahre Kampf um den Marxismus 1883‐1932, Fischer, Jena, 1932, and as Part 7, ‘The further development of Marxism to the present’, of the essay Sozialistische Ideen und Lehren I in Ludwig Elster (ed.), Wörterbuch der Volkswirtschaft. Band 3, 4th edition, Fischer, Jena 1933, pp. 272‐341. Fifty years of struggle over Marxism 1883‐1932 Henryk Grossman Translated from German by Rick Kuhn and Einde O’Callaghan A Marxists of the early period Until the end of the seventies of the last century, circumstances for the understanding of Marx’s ideas were not particularly favourable, even within the socialist camp. A particular difficulty was that initially Capital was only available as a torso, as only one of several volumes. Almost another three decades passed before the volumes completing the system appeared (volume 2 in 1885, volume 3 in 1895). And a further fifteen years passed before Karl Kautsky brought out the last volume of Theories of surplus value (1910). These, intended by Marx as the fourth part of Capital, are a magnificent history of political economy from the end of the 17th century, one that bourgeois historical writing has been unable to equal. During the first decade after the founding of the German Empire it was hardly possible to speak of ‘Marxism’ in Germany (and still less in other countries).

  • The Development of a Marxist
    Historical Materialism 25.3 (2017) 148–190 brill.com/hima The Development of a Marxist Karl Kautsky 1924 Abstract Karl Kautsky (1845–1938) was one of the most important Marxist thinkers of his age. In this life sketch written in 1924, he outlines his intellectual development and how he came to be such an important Marxist theoretician. Keywords Karl Kautsky – Marxism – European social democracy – Second International I I gladly meet the invitation to provide a characterisation of my life work with a particular focus on my economic views. My life work is nearing its end, and if a summary of this work is to come from me then it is time to take up this task. The state into which I was born no longer exists. It was wrecked by the storms of 1918. Yet already in my youth it was in a process of decline and decay, and this profoundly influenced my own development. My very own lineage was a mirror image of the hodgepodge of nationalities in the Austrian empire. I was born on 16 October 1854 in Prague, the son of a Czech father and a German mother. My mother’s father was Viennese, but his father came from Hungary (I suspect from Croatia) and was married to an Italian woman. My mother’s mother was from Lower Austria. My father’s father was Czech, but his mother was of Polish origin. * The text was first published in Meiner (ed.) 1924, pp. 117–53. This translation is taken from a reprint in Kautsky (ed.) 1954, pp. 11–44.

Some comparisons with the first few pages were made in the proofs, and a few alterations made in accordance with suggestions there received, for which we wish to give due credit. The present translation has also been compared with the French translation of the first part which appeared in Le Mouvemente Socialiste . Finally we wish to extend our thanks to Comrade Kautsky for his kind permission to bring this translation of what we believe to be one of the most important contributions made to Socialist literature during the last decade before American readers.

Introduction On March 28, 1985, Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his meeting with Nikaidō, the vice President of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan that the reform is Chi- na’s second revolution (Deng, 1993). In other words, China’s revolution did not stop because it successfully entered the socialist society. The great achievements made by the Communist Party of China in the past 100 years are the results of revolution. Marxist party is a party with revolutionary characteristics.
