BACON – 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 (...)

BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY

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 (...) -
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 (...) -
Discontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
28 November 2017, by Robert ParisDiscontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
Stephen Jay Gould writes in "The Structure of the Theory of Evolution"
"Many evolutionists consider that a strict continuity between micro and macro-evolution is an essential ingredient of Darwinism and the necessary corollary of natural selection. (...) Thomas Henry Huxley had separated the natural selection from gradualism and warned Darwin that his frank and unsubstantiated adherence to gradualism could undermine his (...) -
Socialism, by Engels
12 January 2022The materialist conception of history starts from the proposition that the production and, next to production, the exchange of things produced, is the basis of all social structure; that in every society that has appeared in history, the manner in which wealth is distributed and society divided into classes or estates is dependent upon what is produced, how it is produced, and how the products are exchanged. From this point of view the final causes of all social changes and political (...)

What is Quantum Vacuum ?
16 December 2016, by Robert ParisWhat is Quantum Vacuum ?
An article of Albert Einstein, “On the Ether” (1924) :
If we are here going to talk about the ether, we are not, of course, talking about the physical or material ether of the mechanical theory of undulations, which is subject to the laws of Newtonian mechanics, to the points of which are attributed a certain velocity. This theoretical edifice has, I am convinced, finally played out its role since the setting up of the special theory of relativity. It is rather (...) -
The ABC of Materialist Dialectics
31 May 2014, by Robert ParisDialectic is neither fiction nor mysticism, but a science of the forms of our thinking insofar as it is not limited to the daily problems of life but attempts to arrive at an understanding of more complicated and drawn-out processes. The dialectic and formal logic bear a relationship similar to that between higher and lower mathematics.
I will here attempt to sketch the substance of the problem in a very concrete form. The Aristotelian logic of the simple syllogism starts from the (...) -
Iceland devastated by global crisis
4 février 2009, par Robert ParisPer-Åke Westerlund, Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna (CWI Sweden)
A few days of demonstrations, including protesters throwing eggs being met by riot police with teargas, have been enough to force a new election in Iceland. The mass protests in what is, to date, the worst hit country in the global economic crisis, have been referred to as a revolution – a ’fleece’, ’facebook’, or ’saucepan’ revolution. Among those who have come onto the streets, there are discussions about the need for a new (...) -
Leon Trotsky - The New Course (1923)
20 January 2022Leon Trotsky - The New Course (1923)
CHAPTER 1 The Question of the Party Generations
None of the resolutions adopted during the discussion in Moscow, the complaint is made that the question of party democracy has been complicated by discussions on the relationships between the generations, personal attacks, etc. This complaint attests to a certain mental confusion. Personal attacks and the mutual relationships between generations are two entirely different things. To pose now the (...) -
