Dialectical and Historical Materialism Pdf Stalin Dialectical and historical materialism pdf stalin Continue Born to Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili in modest parents in Gori, Georgia, Joseph Stalin first became interested in Marxism when he was studying for the priesthood. These studies suddenly ended with his expulsion for revolutionary activities aimed at overthrowing the king. After various periods of arrest and escape or imprisonment, he became a follower of Lenin. From 1903 to 1913 he wrote revolutionary materials. Around 1913 he took the name Stalin, a man of steel. The editor of the Communist newspaper Pravda, in 1917, he led the newspaper and began his rise to power in the Communist Party, eventually becoming a leading member of the triumvirate that ruled the USSR after Lenin's death. During his dictatorship that followed, many of his former comrades died in the purges he initiated. During World War II, after Nazi Germany violated the mutual non-aggression agreement it signed with Russia, Stalin joined the Allies. During and after the Allied victory, he met with other Allied leaders---Cerkill, Roosevelt, and Truman--- at the Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam conferences. The post-war capture of Eastern Europe helped start the Cold War. After his death, Stalin received the funeral of the state hero and was buried next to Lenin on Red Square in Moscow. In 1961, after Nikita Khrushchev condemned him and his policies, his body was transferred to the cemetery of heroes at the Kremlin wall. In March 1969, about two years after Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva caused a sensation when she left the USSR and her family to seek asylum in the United States, Pravda began releasing excerpts from Mikhail Sholokhov's new novel, They Fought for Their Country, which meant Stalin was unaware of his secret police activities in the 1930s purges. Svetlana also prepared work on --- Letters to a Friend: A Memoir. In it, she cast a new light on Stalin's personal life and his mother's suicide. She refrains from expressing active hostility towards her father and believes that he was to some extent deceived by Beria, the head of his secret police. Of Stalin's many biographical studies, however, one of the most fascinating is that of Leo Trotsky. In the introduction to the 1967 edition, Bertram D. Wolfe writes: In all literature there is no more dramatic relationship between the author and the subject... It's like Robespierre makes the life of Fouche, Kurbsky Ivan the Terrible, Muenzer Martin Luther.

The work first appeared in 1938, based both on the philosophical works of Vladimir Lenin, and on a new Short Course on the history of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). Later it became the state doctrine of the Soviet Union. The name refers to dialectic materialism and historical materialism. The synopsis of Stalin's article is divided into three parts, and is very systematically presented: A: sketches of the Marxist dialectical method, unlike the metaphysics Nature's single whole Nature is in constant motion The development of nature is the transition of quantity as natural phenomena possess internal contradictions, as part of their struggle, and cannot be reformist, but rather revolutionary B: sketches of Marxist philosophical materialism as opposed to idealism The world is materialistic in nature Being objective Knowledge of natural laws is studied by practice, laws of social development, objective truth, analog biology, socialism - it is science C: Historical materialism What is the main defining force in society? The way material is produced, not the geographical environment or population growth. The real party of the proletariat controls the laws of the development of the production Schematic picture of history: A. Primitive communal / primitive communism B. Slavery K. Feudalism D.

  • A Phenomenology of Color and Desire
    Lorenzo Marinucci University of Rome Tor Vergata Iro A Phenomenology of Color and Desire This essay is a phenomenological analysis of the meanings expressed by the character 色 ( Jp. iro/shiki, Ch. sè). They include “color,” “love,” “eroticism,” “sensuous beauty,” and even “phenomenon.” Is this overlap fortuitous, or can we reach a deep insight on these apparently disparate elements by reflecting on色 ? Does the East Asian approach to color qua desire reveal something essential about both color and desire, heavily downplayed within European philosophy? I will address this phenomenological issue through five sections. First, we will consider Husserl’s description ofplena and Merleau-Ponty’s reflection on sexuality as metaphysics; then, the role of color as a paradigm for emotion in Japanese aesthetics will be addressed. Both these discourses will offer a new perspective on the Heart Sutra’s equation of 色 and “emptiness” (空). We will argue how and why Goethe’s theory of color shows a distinct affinity with these Asian sources. Lastly, I will highlight the interplay of all these elements in Kuki Shūzō’s The Struc- ture of Iki. Color and eroticism are ultimately connected as the pre-formal and yet transcendental disclosure of the world: central paradigms for view- ing experience itself as relation and immersion. keywords: color—desire—phenomenology—Husserl—Goethe— Buddhism—Kuki Shūzō—Japanese philosophy—aesthetics European Journal of Japanese Philosophy 5 • 2020, pp. 193–226 his text tries to approach philosophically what at first glance appears Tas a lexical problem: the complex intermingling of meanings in the Chinese and Japanese expressions of erotic love and color.

  • The Syndrome of the House Taken Over* a Síndrome Da Casa Tomada
    Os conteúdos deste periódico de acesso aberto estão licenciados sob os termos da Licença Creative Commons Atribuição-UsoNãoComercial-ObrasDerivadasProibidas 3.0 Unported. 4 The syndrome of the house taken over* A síndrome da casa tomada **Eduardo Luft Abstract: To overcome the paradoxical situation in which the modern subject finds itself, on conceptualizing nature in such a way that its very presence in nature becomes inconceivable, modernity has supplied at least four alternatives: a) the first is to defend dualism (Descartes, Kant); b) the second option is to support a monism of nature (Spinoza, Hobbes); c) the third alternative is to defend a monism of subjectivity (Fichte); d) the fourth and last alternative is to support a dialectical monism (Schelling, Hegel). It is well known that, of these four alternatives to the self-interpretation crisis of modern subjectivity, the first ultimately had a more lasting influence on the philosophical scene, marking, point to point, this last breath of modernity that some call post-modern, which flows into the present situation of “hyperincommensurability” between subjectivity and nature, as diagnosed by Bruno Latour. The crisis of subjectivity thus becomes a crisis of philosophy, which ends up as a hostage to the syndrome of the house taken over. Keywords: Dialectical monism. Crisis of modern subjectivity. Nature. Ontology. System. Resumo: Com o intuito de superar a situação paradoxal em que se encontra, ao conceitualizar a natureza de tal modo que a sua própria presença na natureza resulta inconcebível, a modernidade apresenta ao menos quatro alternativas: a) defesa do dualismo (Descartes, Kant); b) apelo a um monismo da natureza (Spinoza, Hobbes); c) afirmação de um monismo da subjetividade (Fichte); d) ou, por fim, elaboração de um monismo dialético (Schelling, Hegel).

  • MATERIALISM and POLITICS Cultural Inquiry EDITED by CHRISTOPH F
    MATERIALISM AND POLITICS Cultural Inquiry EDITED BY CHRISTOPH F. E. HOLZHEY AND MANUELE GRAGNOLATI The series ‘Cultural Inquiry’ is dedicated to exploring how diverse cultures can be brought into fruitful rather than pernicious confrontation. Taking culture in a deliberately broad sense that also includes different discourses and disciplines, it aims to open up spaces of inquiry, experimentation, and intervention. Its emphasis lies in critical reflection and in identifying and highlighting contemporary issues and concerns, even in publications with a historical orientation. Following a decidedly cross-disciplinary approach, it seeks to enact and provoke transfers among the humanities, the natural and social sciences, and the arts. The series includes a plurality of methodologies and approaches, binding them through the tension of mutual confrontation and negotiation rather than through homogenization or exclusion. Christoph F. E. Holzhey is the Founding Director of the ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry. Manuele Gragnolati is Professor of Italian Literature at the Sorbonne Université in Paris and Associate Director of the ICI Berlin.

  • A Comparison of Marxist and Hegelian Dialectical Form
    A Comparison of Marxist and Hegelian Dialectical Form fan Hunt and Roy Swan Introduction world and recogn1s1ng the objective world as nothing but itself. This process is circular, but also pro­ Our aim in this paper is to exhibit the formal differ­ gressive, for in traversing its circular path the at ences that distinguish the Harxist dialectic from its first merely abstract Idea creates itself as an ob­ Hegelian predecessor. In sum, whereas in Hegel's jective being; indeed, an objective being that is at system identity has primacy over contradiction and, once fully subjective and conscious - a concrete sub­ what comes to the same thing, self-identity has ject.

So in becoming an objective being the idealist reduction to an ideal or essential unity Idea becomes determinate, but it is determined not underlying the appearances.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSCENDING SUBJECTS: HEGEL AFTER AUGUSTINE, AN ESSAY ON POLITICAL THEOLOGY Geoffrey J. D. Holsclaw, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2013 From where do political reformers and radicals come who are willing and prepared to challenge the status quo? Where are people formed who are capable of initiating change within a political system? Some worry belief in transcendence closes off authentic political engagement and processes of transformation. Others think that a transcendent orientation is the only means to protect and promote a more free and just society. Some see a positive commitment to transcendence as inimical to democratic practices, while others see such a commitment as indispensible for such a project. These general issues concern transcendence, immanence, and subjectivity as they bear on the question of political transformation. Explaining the differences between these fundamental orientations prompts an investigation of the philosophical and theological systems of Hegel and Augustine. Examining Hegel and Augustine around the issues of transcendence and freedom offers a way to understand these more localized disagreements between political philosophers and theologians, and even between theologians.

Cristina Ruotolo, Ph.D Director and Professor of Humanities Laura Garcia-Moreno, Ph.D Associate Professor of Humanities BEYOND SPEECH, BEYOND SPECIES: THE HUMAN/NONHUMAN BINARY AND AN ETHICS OF SUBLIMITY Shane Andrew Baker San Francisco, California 2016 The harsh realities of ecological catastrophe and biodiversity loss are currently forcing us to reappraise our ambiguous relationship with the nonhuman world. Ideologies of human exceptionalism abound not only in our everyday lives, but also in some antihumanist attempts to bridge nature and culture, and surely, along with a faceless neoliberalism’s commodification of nature, have a hand in this deteriorating state of affairs. The denial or disavowal of nonhuman subjectivities is pathological and overdetermined, serving more than the self-preservation of industries or economies that profit from animal bodies, and it is such defense mechanisms that this thesis seeks to understand. I see individual psychic processes of abjecting nature or animality mirrored at the level of culture, territorializing ‘the human’ as both individual body and category.

  • Vygotsky's Philosophy: Constructivism and Its Criticisms Examined
    International Education Journal, 2005, 6(3), 386-399. ISSN 1443-1475 © 2005 Shannon Research Press. http://iej.cjb.net 386 Vygotsky’s philosophy: Constructivism and its criticisms examined Charlotte Hua Liu Graduate School of Education, Adelaide University, Australia [email protected] Robert Matthews Graduate School of Education, Adelaide University, Australia [email protected] Criticisms have recently been voiced of constructivism, the leading metaphor of human learning since the 1970s. Inspired by inconsistencies in interpretations of constructivism in current literature, we examine the underlying epistemological beliefs of popular constructivist theories and their criticisms. We find that popular constructivist claims and criticisms, instead of being based on contrasting philosophical ideas, are similarly grounded on the dualist separatism of the human mind and the external world. We then present our interpretation of Vygotsky’s historical-dialectical-monist philosophy, through discussions of Vygotskyan concepts including social environment of learning, the role of language, and individual consciousness. The paper concludes that confusions about Vygotsky’s theory often arise from concepts taken literally and from the lack of appreciation of the general philosophical orientation underpinning his works. Constructivism, criticisms, Vygotsky’s philosophy, historical-dialectical-monism, paradigmatic philosophy INTRODUCTION Setting out to overcome the Cartesian mind-body dualism and the well-rehearsed debates between empiricism and rationalism, the constructivist metaphor of cognitive psychology emerged in the 1970s (Gergen, 1985); and since then, has been the buzzword in school education and teacher training in the western part of the world. It has been recognised as both a ‘paradigm’ as well as a ‘theory’ (Fosnot, 1996).

Darsana connotes a Vedanta philosophical system as well as spiritual perception of Reality, and may be explained as an integral intuition of the Brahman. In extreme monism, the Brahman is jnaana and is realized by jnaana. Extreme theism distrusts the intellect and relies on scriptural faith.

Such racial-dualistic frameworks consequences of the dualistic approaches are not only inadequate and ambiguous, produced by capitalism. but could be harmful on many levels. By Introduction utilizing a comparative analysis of Marxist Racism is not only a subject of debate dialectical-monist approach and a non- and examination in the realm of academia, Marxist dualistic approach, I will contend but it has been publicly foregrounded the effectiveness of the former approach in modern times. For decades now, as being more elucidating in treating the emancipatory social sciences have interwined issue of race and racism. I relentlessly aimed at finding a unified will start by providing an introduction and definition of the concept of racism. Yet, definition of race and racism by tracing until this moment, social scientists have their origins in history and commonplace not offered a clear-cut definition, but a discourse.

  • UNIVERSITY of WINCHESTER FACULTY of EDUCATION, HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE the Great Act of Learning: a Red-Green Cosmopolitics O
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF EDUCATION, HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE The Great Act of Learning: A red-green cosmopolitics of emergence Simon Christopher Boxley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July, 2012 !1 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF EDUCATION, HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE Doctor of Philosophy The Great Act of Learning: A red-green cosmopolitics of emergence Simon Christopher Boxley ABSTRACT Joseph Dietzgen remains an anomaly within the Marxist canon for his adherence to a monism which very deliberately collapses the psychological, epistemological and ontological into a ‘social democratic’ materialism within which subjectivity is an immanent feature of the single substantive universe. Dietzgen’s distinctive adoption of a monism which owes much – largely unacknowledged – both to Spinoza and to Romanticism, offers the possibility of a counternarrative to the main stories of official communism and democratic socialism. Such a narrative might be used to retrieve and reconstruct aspects of the Marxist tradition which more comfortably accommodate its conceptual apparatuses to the philosophical requirements of an age of ecological crisis. Why? Firstly, because of the inheritance partially shared by Dietzgen’s Marxism and by ecological Deep Green theory, from Spinoza through Schelling to the early Marx; Secondly, because Dietzgen’s ideas very loosely presaged something of the scientific revolution of the early twentieth-century, and because some of those who were influenced by Dietzgen such as Bogdanov were quick to accept the new
