• The legacy of Charles Darwin - L’héritage de Charles Darwin
  21 April 2015, by Robert Paris

  The legacy of Charles Darwin
  150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species
  Roy Farrar, from The Socialist (weekly paper of CWI England and Wales)
  Charles Darwin’s theory of ’natural selection’ changed the way that we look at ourselves. It contradicted the idea of an outside ’intelligent designer’, so it met a reaction from the religious establishment that still exists in part today.

  28 November 2017, by Robert Paris

  Discontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
  Stephen Jay Gould writes in "The Structure of the Theory of Evolution"

  Les classes dirigeantes sont passées en quelques jours du discours « non aux migrants » à celui de « bienvenue aux migrants ». Du moins officiellement et momentanément…
  Le changement est si brutal qu’il est étonnant et (…)

  The profane existence of error is compromised as soon as its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis [“speech for the altars and hearths,” i.e., for God and country] has been refuted. Man, who has found only the reflection of himself in the fantastic reality of heaven, where he sought a (…)

• Critical Battle Against French Materialism
  23 March 2022, by Robert Paris

  Critical 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 which (…)
