  • Social Contract As Bourgeois Ideology Stephen C

    Social Contract As Bourgeois Ideology Stephen C

    Social Contract as Bourgeois Ideology Stephen C. Ferguson II John Rawls (Photo © Steve Pyke.) Since the publication of John Rawls’ magnum opus A Theory of Justice in 1971, there has been a significant resurgence of philosophical work in the tradition of contractarianism. The distinguished bourgeois political philosopher Robert Nozick has argued that A Theory of Justice is one of the most important works in political philosophy since the writings of John Stuart Mill. “Political philosophers,” Nozick concludes, “now must either work within Rawls’ theory or explain why.”1 It is not far from the truth that Rawls single-handedly not only gave life to analytical political philosophy, but also resuscitated contractarianism, a philosophical tradition that — in many respects — had been lying dormant in a philosophical coma. In fact, social contract theory has become the hegemonic tradition in liberal social and political philosophy. As the Afro-Caribbean My thanks for advice, guidance and/or invaluable criticism of earlier drafts to John H. McClendon III, Ann Cudd, Rex Martin, Tom Tuozzo, Robert J. Antonio and Tariq Al-Jamil. I would also like to extend a hearty thanks to Greg Meyerson and David Siar for their invaluable editorial comments. And, lastly, thanks to my wife, Cassondra, and my two sons, Kendall and Trey, for your unqualified love and support in times of tranquility as well as times of crisis. 1 Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State and Utopia (New York: Basic Books, 1974): 183.

New York 1965 Copyright © 1965 by Science and Society, Inc. 30 East 20th Street, New York, N.Y. 10003 All Rights Reserved Printed in the United States of America Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 40-10163 �341 PREFACE The editors of Science & Society believe that this index to its contents during the first twenty-five years of publication deserves the uncustomary tribute of an editorial note, since it serves to remind us that Science & Society is theoldest publication extant devoted to the theory of Marxism. Indeed, with the single exception of that monument to German scholar­ ship, Die Neue Zeit (1883-1923), it is the longest-lived Marxist theoretical journal in the world, and this despite the enormous difficulties under which Science & Society has always been published. The editors, therefore, take this opportunity to reaffirm their inten­ tion of making Science & Society a forum for the best Marxist scholarship, and their hope that the preface to some future edition of its index will no longer need to note the exception of Die N eue Zeit. We think that those who, using this index, rediscover the great variety of subjects treated and the quality of critical scholarship represented, will agree with us that it is a bibliographic tool of real value to all scholars, but truly invaluable to Marxists. Finally, the editors of Science & Society wish to express their deep gratitude to the Louis M. Rabinowitz Foundation whose generous grant made the publication of this index possible.

Due to the depth of our holdings in the area of radicalism as it manifested itself in literature and art, we are particularly well prepared to present the wide range of national and international protest that was generated by this sensational trial.

    THE IMPACT OF SOUTHERN HERITAGE AND SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY ON THE RHETORICAL STYLE OF MYRA PAGE Laura Northcutt University of North Carolina –Chapel Hill In 1954 Lillian O’Connor published Pioneer Women Orators, in which she details Aristotle’s the - ory of rhetoric and how women carved their own rhetorical sphere out of it. She asserts that the Bill of Rights launched these attempts in the United States and that “it is time they were examined” (98). However, it was not until decades later that many scholars began seriously devoting time to the study of women’s rhetoric. Recent works such as Jacqueline Bacon’s The Humblest May Stand Forth and Cheryl Glenn’s Rhetoric Retold chronicle women’s use of rhetoric and the struggles they have faced in establishing themselves as “capable and influential rhetors” (Bacon 112). My study builds upon this body of important scholarship by exploring the postsuffrage era rhetoric of a woman, Myra Page, who was compelled to reconcile her Southern heritage and socialist ideology. In the process, she further expanded the sphere of women’s rhetoric. Page’s innovative rhetorical style can be seen through her heavy use of logos, as favored by the male leadership of the socialist movement, and the absence of modesty topos associated with Southern femininity. However, she is also able to maintain her Southern femininity through using pathos, which allows her to adhere to the standards of socialist rhetoric. Page’s 1937 article “We Want Our Children,” which addresses the controversial issue of abortion, serves as a useful site for charting her rhetorical acumen.

It is a philosophy and way of life which embraces atheism; dialectical materialism; class morality; class warfare; the vision of world conquest; the strategy and the tactics deemed essential to turn this vision into a reality; and the vision of the creation of a new social order and a new man. It is a philosophy which is embodied in an international movement organized into various Communist parties which seeks to establish a dictatorship, then a socialistic and finally a communistic social order.
