Dialectical Materialism and the Fate of Humanity
Mankind has obviously reached the end of something. The crisis is absolute. Bourgeois civilisation is falling apart, and even while it collapses, devotes its main energies to the preparation of further holocausts. Not remote states on the periphery but regimes contending for world power achieve the most advanced stages of barbarism known to history. What civilised states have ever approached Nazi Germany and Stalinist (...)

Hegel’s Philosophy of History - Part I
11 December 2021Introduction
Part I: The Oriental World
We have to begin with the Oriental World, but not before the period in which we discover States in it. The diffusion of Language and the formation of races lie beyond the limits of History. History is prose, and myths fall short of History. The consciousness of external definite existence only arises in connection with the power to form abstract distinctions and assign abstract predicates; and in proportion as a capacity for expressing Laws (of (...) -
Readings Upon Dialectics
22 February 2018Readings Upon Dialectics
“The whole world, natural, historical, intellectual, is represented as a process – i.e., as in constant motion, change, transformation, development; and the attempt is made to trace out the internal connection that makes a continuous whole of all this movement and development.”
Engels, Socialism: Utopian & Scientific
"It is an eternal cycle in which matter moves, a cycle that certainly only completes its orbit in periods of time for which our terrestrial (...) -
Hegel and Schelling (1802) - The Critical Journal of Philosophy
3 January 2022IN WHATEVER DOMAIN OF ART or [speculative] science it is employed, criticism requires a standard which is just as independent of the person who makes the judgment as it is of the thing that is judged – a standard derived neither from the singular [i.e. the immediate occasion for critical judgment] nor from the specific character of the [judging] subject, but from the eternal and unchangeable model [Urbild] of what really is [die Sache selbst]. Just as the idea of fine art is not first (...)

Quelles sont les idées de Dietzgen – What Are the Ideas of Dietzgen
8 juillet 2018, par Robert ParisQuelles sont les idées de Dietzgen – What Are the Ideas of Dietzgen
Lénine :
« J. Dietzgen exprimait, dès 1869, dans son livre sur l’Essence du travail cérébral, la même idée qu’Engels, non sans tenter, il est vrai, comme il en avait la coutume, de « concilier » confusément le matérialisme et l’idéalisme. Laissons de côté ces tentatives, explicables dans une large mesure par la polémique de Dietzgen contre le matérialisme de Büchner étranger à la dialectique, et demandons nous quelles (...) -
BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
7 December 2021BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
There was already being accomplished the abandonment of the content which lies beyond us, and which through its form has lost the merit it possessed of being true, and is become of no significance to self-consciousness or the certainty of self and of its actuality; this we see for the first time consciously expressed, though not as yet in a very perfect form, by Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. He is therefore instanced as in the (...) -
Pourquoi et comment l’empire Olmèque a-t-il disparu ? Avons-nous des preuves ?
25 janvier 2019, par Robert ParisLire sur les Amérindiens Savons-nous comment la civilisation Olmèque fut détruite et surtout pourquoi ?
Sabemos cómo fue destruida la civilización olmeca y por qué ? L’origine serait un peuple qui aurait domestiqué la culture du maïs en 2250 avant notre ère. Les premières sociétés olmèques hiérarchisées apparaissent en 1800 avant notre ère sur la côte du golfe avec les Olmèques, entre 1400-450 avant notre ère dans la vallée de Oaxaca et entre 1500-200 avant JC dans le Morelos... Entre (...) -
Karl Marx - A Critique of The German Ideology
20 August 2019, by Robert ParisPreface
Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away. Let us revolt (...) -
La physique de la matière : déterminisme ou indéterminisme ? Ou les deux, contradictoirement mais aussi conjointement ?!!!
28 mai 2017, par Robert Paris« Rien n’est sûr que la chose incertaine » écrivait François Villon.
On pourrait rajouter que rien n’est plus durable que la structure fondée sur l’éphémère rien n’est plus ordonné que l’organisation du chaos, rien plus déterminé que la loi qui se fonde sur l’agitation apparemment indéterminée, rien de matériel qui ne soit fondé sur le vide, par de liens matériels sans la lumière…
La physique de la matière, c’est la prédictibilité ou l’imprédictibilité, c’est le déterminisme ou (...) -
Critical Battle Against French Materialism
23 March 2022, by Robert ParisCritical Battle Against French Materialism
Karl Marx, The Holy Family
“Spinozism dominated the eighteenth century both in its later French variety, which made matter into substance, and in deism, which conferred on matter a more spiritual name.... Spinoza’s French school and the supporters of deism were but two sects disputing over the true meaning of his system.... The simple fate of this Enlightenment was its decline in romanticism after being obliged to surrender to the reaction (...)
