introducing marxism rupert woodfin

Was Marx himself a ''Marxist''? Was his visionary promise of socialism betrayed by Marxist dictatorship? Is Marxism inevitably totalitarian? What did Marx really say? "Introducing Marxism" provides a fundamental account of Karl Marx''s original philosophy, its roots in 19th century European ideology, his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th century revolutions. It assesses Marxism''s Russian disciples, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin who forged a ruthless dogmatic Communism. The book examines the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism of Althusser in the 1960s. It marshals postmodern interpretations of Marxism and raises the spectre of ''post-Marxism'' in Derrida''s confrontation with Fukuyama''s ''end of history'' doctrine.

A cutting-edge exploration of how Marx’s ideas have been adopted and adapted by revolutionary thinkers in the Global South. For much of the twentieth century, the ideas of Karl Marx provided the backbone for social justice around the world. But today the legacy of Marxism is contested, with some seeing it as Eurocentric and irrelevant to the wider global struggle. In Global Marxism, Simin Fadaee argues that Marxism remains a living tradition and the cornerstone of revolutionary theory and practice in the Global South. She explores the lives, ideas and legacies of a group of revolutionaries who played an exceptional role in contributing to counter-hegemonic change. Figures such as Ho Chi Minh, Kwame Nkrumah, Ali Shariati and Subcomandante Marcos did not simply accept the version of Marxism that was given to them – they adapted it to local conditions and contexts. In doing this they demonstrated that Marxism is not a rigid set of propositions but an evolving force whose transformative potential remains enormous. This global Marxism has much to teach us in the never-ending task of grasping the changing historical conditions of capitalism and the complex world in which we live.

Offers a transformative reading of the Marxist tradition by uncovering its connections to the institutions and practices of worker education.  For the past hundred years, “vulgar Marxism” has been the go-to insult among socialist and communist intellectuals, a shorthand for the ways Marxist theory could go wrong. But why would thinkers advocating for working-class emancipation use “vulgarity” as an epithet?  In Vulgar Marxism, Edward Baring seeks an answer by delving into debates over Marxism in the first decades of the twentieth century. He shows that this common phrase wasn’t aimed primarily at popular understandings of Marx. Rather, it was used to attack intellectuals for failing to teach Marx’s theory to the working masses correctly. His history of “vulgar Marxism” homes in on the project of mass worker education at a time when the project was both widely pursued and fiercely contested.  Worker education offered a mechanism through which Marxist theory was meant to promote large-scale social and political change, and it drew on a massive infrastructure of schools, publishing houses, and educational bureaus that stretched across Europe and reached millions. By centering this project, Baring radically recasts the history of Marxism from the Second International to World ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In this book, Elías José Palti analyzes the writings of key thinkers who have theorised the present situation of Marxism: Perry Anderson, Fredric Jameson, Ernesto Laclau, Slavoj Žižek, Judith Butler, Alain Badiou and Jacques Derrida. His aim is to interrogate what appears to be the final crisis of Marxist political tradition from a historical-intellectual point of view, placing it within a broader framework, which is the present crisis of politics, at large. Yet, it also reveals why we cannot, even then, avoid confronting it, stubbornly trying to think of what seems to be unthinkable today, namely, the idea of an emancipatory horizon.Unlike traditional works of political philosophy, The Crisis of Marxism: A Historical-Intellectual Problem does not intend to provide political or philosophical answers to today’s dislocation of politics. Instead, it aspires to clarify the nature of the questions that such a situation raises and demonstrates why the current crisis of Marxism contains some fundamental clues for it.

Early in life, Walter Rodney became a major revolutionary figure in a dizzying range of locales that traversed the breadth of the Black diaspora: in North America and Europe, in the Caribbean and on the African continent. He was not only a witness of a Pan-African and socialist internationalism; in his efforts to build mass organizations, catalyze rebellious ferment, and theorize an anti-colonial path to self-emancipation, he can be counted among its prime authors. Decolonial Marxism records such a life by collecting previously unbound essays written during the world-turning days of Black revolution. In drawing together pages where he elaborates on the nexus of race and class, offers his reflections on radical pedagogy, outlines programs for newly independent nation-states, considers the challenges of anti-colonial historiography, and produces balance sheets for a dozen wars for national liberation, this volume captures something of the range and power of Rodney's output. But it also demonstrates the unbending consistency that unites his life and work: the ongoing reinvention of living conception of Marxism, and a respect for the still untapped potential of mass self-rule.

Nejmylnější domněnkou vědy je názor, že věda již pochopila podstatu reality - že základní otázky jsou už zodpovězeny a nyní zbývá pouze dořešit detaily. V této knize vám Rupert Sheldrake, jenden z nejvíce průkopnických vědců současnosti, názorně ukáže, že věda je spoutaná domněnkami, které se změnily v dogmata. "Vědecký pohled na svět" se stal souborem pouhých domněnek a vírou. Veškerá realita je podle něj hmotná či fyzikální a svět je strojem, jenž je tvořen neživou hmotou. Příroda dle tohoto pohledu postrádá jakýkoli smysl a vědomí není ničím víc, než pouhou fyzickou aktivitou mozku. Svobodná vůle je iluzí a bůh existuje jenom jako představa v lidské mysli, uvězněn v naší lebce. Rupert Sheldrake vědecky prozkoumává tato dogmata a předkládá přesvědčivé důkazy, že vědě by se dařilo lépe bez nich - byla by svobodnější, zajímavější a zábavnější.

Dosud málo známý a nezaslouženě zapomenutý výtvarný fotograf Rupert Kytka (1910-1993) patří do generace umělců spjatých s meziválečným amatérským hnutím. Nejvýznamnější práce ovšem vytvořil až v šedesátých letech jako zakládající člen olomoucké skupiny DOFO, prvního poválečného československého fotografického sdružení (vzniklo roku 1959), k jejímuž věhlasu přispěli později například Ivo Přeček a Vilém Reichmann. Z této doby vynikají zejména Kytkovy snímky v duchu poezie všedního dne (se styčnými plochami s tradicí surrealismu a imaginativního umění) a fotografie blížící se svým výrazem umění op-artu či informelu (mj. skleněné struktury). K jeho vrcholným snímkům patří zátiší v exteriéru i interiéru, často citlivě zobrazující odhozené a různě destruované předměty. Fotografickou dráhu pak Rupert Kytka zakončil výjimečným souborem Dobrá země (1969-1979), kdy zejména v detailech opět prokázal schopnost mistrovsky rytmizovat námět. Zhodnotil tak zároveň celoživotní zájem o fotografii horské krajiny. Reprezentativní výběr (téměř padesát kvalitních reprodukcí) z Kytkova neokázalého, ale dnes již klasického díla je uveden průkopnickou studií Lukáše Bártla a uzavřen soupisem výstav umělce.

The Science Delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. In this book (published in the US as Science Set Free), Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas.The 'scientific worldview' has become a belief system. All reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter.Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion.God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Sheldrake examines these dogmas scientifically, and shows persuasively that science would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun. In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion.

''Quivers with honesty, A-list gossip and sardonic prose'' The Times''Everett is a deliciously gifted writer. Nothing and no one escapes his attention'' ObserverRupert Everett tells the story of how he set out to make a film of Oscar Wilde''s last days, and how that ten-year quest almost destroyed him. (And everyone else.) Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In ''90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in ''70s London, a ''weirdly tall, beyond size zero'' teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama. Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the ''snakes and ladders'' of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.

"Rupert Spira is one of the great souls. Read his books, and be clarified."-Coleman Barks, translator of Rumi, including Soul FuryA contemplative poem about the intimate, impersonal, infinite nature of being.In A Meditation on I Am, Rupert Spira contemplates the essential nature of our self before it has been conditioned or qualified by the content of experience. It is a poem, a prayer and a hymn of praise to the simple fact of being that is the source of the peace and happiness for which we long above all else.For seasoned spiritual seekers and newcomers alike, this meditative poem explores and celebrates the truth of what we essentially are: the awareness of being that shines in each of our minds as the knowledge "I am," which is temporarily coloured by experience but is never modified, changed or harmed by it.

Předkládaná edice zpřítomňuje polemické střetnutí stoupenců formalistického a marxistického pojetí umění, k němuž došlo v Rusku (SSSR) v první polovině dvacátých let minulého století. Cílem je ukázat vymezování obou přístupů k literatuře, stejně jako vývoj a důsledky dané konfrontace. Polemika mezi marxismem a formalismem představuje zásadní střet určující pro utváření veškerých uměnovědných disciplín po celé 20. století. Metodologie formální školy (zastoupená zde V. Šklovským a B. Ejchenbaumem) akcentuje analytický, dílocentrický přístup. Marxistický tábor, vyzdvihující společenský dosah umění, je představen argumenty L. Trockého a A. Lunačarského. Doprovodná studie mapuje nejen hlavní teze a odhaluje argumentační zázemí, dobovou terminologii a autority, na něž se obě strany odvolávají, ale ukazuje i širší kontext jednotlivých polemických vystoupení a začleňuje další diskutéry, kteří na spor reagují po svém (okruh M. Bachtina, R. Jakobson a další). V neposlední řadě se stává zřejmým, jak toto střetnutí nezůstalo bez vzájemných vlivů a odezvy na obou stranách: marxističtí kritici přejímají některé formalistické termíny a obraty (lze také sledovat výzvy k jakémusi "smíření" obou přístupů); formalismus se ve své další fázi pozoruhodným způsobem vypořádává se sociálním rozměrem v umění.

Winner of the Premio internazionale Giuseppe Sormani 2011, awarded by the Fondazione Istituto Piemontese Antonio Gramsci in Turin for the best book/article on Gramsci in the period between 2007-2011 internationally.Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks are today acknowledged as a classic of the human and social sciences in the twentieth century. The influence of his thought in numerous fields of scholarship is only exceeded by the diverse interpretations and readings to which it has been subjected, resulting in often contradictory images of Gramsci. This book draws on the rich recent season of Gramscian philological studies in order to argue that the true significance of Gramsci’s thought exists in its distinctive position in the development of the Marxist tradition. Providing a detailed reconsideration of Gramsci’s theory of the state and concept of philosophy, The Gramscian Moment argues for the urgent necessity of taking up the challenge of developing a philosophy of praxis” as a vital element in the contemporary revitalisation of Marxism.

Co je „já“? Co je „druhý“, co je „svět“? Kdo je onen „prožívající“, který, jak se zdá, spojuje oba póly dohromady? Co je podstatou zkušenosti neboli pro-žitku, který právě teď, v tomto okamžiku, zažíváme? Rozpoznání naší pravé podstaty nevyžaduje náročné studium duchovních textů a léta meditačních praktik. Vyžaduje pouze ochotu zapojit se do ne-kompromisního a upřímného zkoumání povahy samotného uvědomění, do hledání toho, čím skutečně jsme. Rupert Spira v knize Průhlednost věcí nejenže vystihuje podstatu tohoto výzkumu slovy každodenního jazyka, ale činí tak bez odkazu na jakékoli meta-fyzické nebo ezoterické doktríny. Vybízí nás, abychom se pustili do osobního zkoumání toho, co to znamená být vědomý, a dovolává se přitom jen naší přímé zkušenosti. Pokud využijeme jeho pozvánky a pustíme se do zkoumání své vlastní zkušenosti, zjistíme, že zažíváme poznání, jemuž se probuzené bytosti těší již celé věky. Průhlednost věcí je sbírkou kontemplativních esejí, jejímž účelem je podívat se jasně a jednoduše na povahu zkušenosti, aniž bychom se ji pokoušeli změnit. Jemně, ale přímo nás vede k poznání, že naší esenciální podstatou není ani tělo, ani mysl, nýbrž vědomá Přítomnost uvědomující si v každém okamžiku naši současnou zkušenost. Ačkoli na sebe bere podobu této zkušenosti, vždy zůstává sama sebou.

Britský filosof Rupert Read tematizuje jako nejnaléhavější problém dneška změnu klimatu a ohrožení naší planety. Jestliže skutečně rychle směřujeme k zániku naší civilizace v podobě, jak ji dosud známe, nesmíme podle Reada před celoplanetární krizí zavírat oči, naopak si musíme uvědomit, jak neudržitelná je současná (klimatická) politika. Civilizace však ještě není ztracená, naději na její transformaci autor spatřuje v realistickém, lokálním a komunálním klimatickém aktivismu.

How did a marginal dialect spoken in the late ninth century by 200,000 people become the world’s language spoken by 1.6 billion people today?In Amorous or Loving? – The Highly Peculiar Tale of English and the English, Sir Rupert Gavin charts the unique evolution of our language into the resulting hodge-podge that is now the lingua franca of the world. He argues that English is ideal as the global language, not just by accident of history, but by fundamental construction and constitution. Further, he examines how all of this was determined not just by our unique language, but also our geography, our weather, our religion, the extraordinary status of London, and by a handful of inspirational figures – some well-known and some hardly known today at all.

In The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When, through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being, God''s being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God''s longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings, prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and ...

Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Most people''s lives consist of a flow of thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and so on. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?"The knowing of our being-or rather, awareness''s knowing of its own being in us-is our primary experience, our most fundamental and intimate experience. It is in this experience that all the peace, happiness, and love we have ever longed for reside. The happiness we have sought for so long outside of ourselves, in situations, objects, and relationships, turns out to be always present, always available, in the simple knowing of our own being as it is. The knowing of our own being shines in each one of us as the experience "I am" or "I am aware," or simply as the thought "I." Because this simplest, most obvious, most familiar, and intimate experience is to the mind not a thing, or nothing, it is ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A call for Christianity to recover its confidence The mainstream Churches are faltering - or even at risk of dying out - in their Western and Middle Eastern heartlands. Surveys confirm that only a minority of people in a country such as Britain now claim Christian allegiance. The pattern is being matched in neighbouring societies. At the same time many opinion formers preach secularist ideology with a self-confidence shading into dogmatism. Others, unsure of their moorings, feel some residual attachment to spirituality, while being sceptical about the existence of God and other articles of belief. Yet church teaching remains intellectually robust, as well as inspiring a transformative global presence. In this major and wide-ranging international study - both a report on the unsettling consequences of secularisation and a defence of a creed too often belittled by its opponents - Rupert Shortt outlines Christianity's fading profile in the present, but also argues compellingly that Europe's historic faith remains critical to the survival of a humane culture.

Underpinning the novel, and casting a long shadow, is a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant.Exploring themes of addiction, racism, celebrity, immigration, and self-delusion, and fuelled by a longing for the unattainable and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost, Barcelona Dreaming is a love letter to one of the world''s most beautiful cities and a powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times.

To many, the problem of evil and suffering constitutes by far the most serious objection to mainstream religious belief. For all its starkness and salience, though, the dilemma is also widely misinterpreted. That visceral feelings often dominate discussion is understandable on one level. But this can displace the clearer-headed thinking needed to shed greater light on the subject. In this brief but broad-ranging book, Rupert Shortt shows that belief in a divine Creator is much more coherent intellectually than many sceptics suppose. Basic misconceptions about core aspects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam can in turn spawn still greater caricatures of subjects including divine power. Having cleared the ground, Shortt goes on to discuss the nature of evil from a classical Abrahamic standpoint and how Christian resources in particular offer guidance in an area where raw emotion, conceptual thought and the deepest trials of the spirit overlap. If the dilemma has no clear solution, that need not discredit sensitive and creative ways of grappling with it.The Hardest Problem is an accessible contemporary reflection on the perennial question of human suffering.

War in Ukraine, a global hunger crisis, the West''s cost of living crisis - the eruptions of 2022 were all too predictable. In Price Wars, Rupert Russell lays out just how these crises are connected and how many such events plunged the 2010s into a decade of turmoil. Entering the eye of the storm - from the trenches of Russian separatist-controlled Donbas to bomb disposal squads in Mosul to cattle raiders in Kenya - Russell discovers a butterfly effect of chaos in the real world being driven by chaos in the commodities markets. The price of food and oil has the power to bankroll foreign invasions, plunge continents into poverty and spark revolutions, civil wars and refugee crises. And these prices, whistle-blowing hedge fund managers and Nobel Prize winners told him, have become irrational. In this thrilling exposé of the dark financial forces that rule our world, Russell takes us on adventure into the inner workings of global disorder unlike any other.
