Conversation between D’Alembert and Diderot
12 November 2018d’Alembert: I confess that a Being who exists somewhere and yet corresponds to no point in space, a Being who, lacking extension, yet occupies-space; who is present in his entirety in every part of that space, who is essentially different from matter and yet is one with matter, who follows its motion, and moves it, without himself being in motion, who acts on matter and yet is subject to all its vicissitudes, a Being about whom I can form no idea; a Being of so contradictory a nature, is (...)

Private Property and Communism
28 October 2018, by Robert ParisKarl Marx
Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
Private Property and Communism
