How to Read Marx's Capital - Louis Althusser 2008-02-12 18:31:00 1. Capital appeared a century ago (in 1867). It retains all its freshness and is more relevant and actual than ever. Bourgeois ideologists, whether they be 'economists', 'historians', or 'philosophers' have spent the greater part of the last century trying to refute it. They have declared the theories of the value of labour power, of surplus value and of the law of value to be 'metaphysical' theses which have nothing whatever to do with 'political economy'. The latest of these ideologists to re-hash the old arguments while purporting to advance something new is M. Raymond Aron (Croce, the Italian philosopher, advanced the most 'perfect' of such arguments I know - before World War I). 2. The work Read more:Louis

IDEOLOGY: POINTS TO PONDER 2007-11-06 18:54:00 compiled by Ralph Dumain 1. What does “ideology” mean to you? 2. What are the various ways the term is used? 3. What is the history (and pre-history) of the concept, from De Tracy (1797) on? 4. Is ideology bad, good, neutral? 5. Is “ideology” bad faith, or just a deceptive veil of appearances? 6. If bad faith, is ideology primarily a deception of others, or of oneself? 7. Can true beliefs be used ideologically? (In other words: one’s relationship to one’s ideas) 8. Are ideologies explicit or tacit? 9. Is ideology primarily a system of ideas or beliefs, or an embodied structure of social practices? 10. How does social position affect ideology? What do people in different social positions share ideologically? How do they differ? What different sorts of real
IDEOLOGY 2007-11-06 18:47:00 by Raymond Williams Ideology first appeared in English in 1796, as a direct translation of the new French word ideologie which had been proposed in that year by the rationalist philosopher Destutt de Tracy. Taylor (1796): ‘Tracy read a paper and proposed to call the philosophy of mind, ideology’. Taylor (1797): ‘… ideology, or the science of ideas, in order to distinguish it from the ancient metaphysics’. In this scientific sense, ideology was used in epistemology and linguistic theory until lC19. A different sense, initiating the main modern meaning, was popularized by Napoleon Bonaparte. In an attack on the proponents of democracy — ‘who misled the people by elevating them to a sovereignty which they were incapable of exercising’ — he attacked
Logical Empiricism 2007-11-06 18:03:00 by Maurice CornforthHow Logicians Announced a Great New Advance in Philosophy In 1914 Bertrand Russell, having completed the Principia Mathematica, announced that a new way of thinking had "gradually crept into philosophy through the critical scrutiny of mathematics." This type of philosophy, he said, "represents, I believe, the same kind of advance as was introduced into physics by Galileo: the substitution of piecemeal, detailed and verifiable results for large untested generalities recommended only by a certain appeal to the imagination." [1] The key to this new philosophy was its method, the method of Logical
Analysis. Philosophy, said Russell, should not attempt to compete with natural science in working out a theory of the universe, or theories abo
Partisanship and Objectivity in Theoretical Work 2007-11-06 17:56:00 by Maurice Cornforth This article is the text of a lecture given to the Philosophy Section of the Communist University of London in July 1973. It was later published in Marxism Today, January 1974. 1. The false antithesis of partisanship and objectivity There is no such thing as "a theory" in the abstract. Theory is made by people, used by people and kept going by people. Without people active in a society there is no theory. So the actual circumstances and interests of people and in particular of people socially related in classes determine how theories are worked out, what questions they deal with and what they say. Marxism, then, is not just a set of propositions about the world and human society. It is the guiding theory, or ideology, of the world-wide revolutionary moveme
