SUMMARY:The Young Hegelians (1831-1842)
DESCRIPTION:Seminar of the NYC Marxist Hegel-Studies Collective\nMarxist Education Project  \nConducted by Russell Dale \nHegel’s philosophy has had a great influence on much of what has happened in the world since his time (1770-1831) and is crucial to understanding much of modern social thought and philosophy as well as to understanding Marxism and the socialist tradition in its varied aspects. \nHegel himself died in 1831. In Berlin\, where Hegel had taught for nearly a decade-and-a-half up to his death\, a small group of philosophers – the so-called “Young Hegelians” – struggled with questions of interpreting Hegel in terms of the actual conditions of life in Germany and Europe at that time. The questions that this group of philosophers dealt with ranged from questions of re-interpreting religion\, to the nature of the individual\, society\, and the state. Both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were involved in the work of the Young Hegelians\, and ultimately it was the rejection of much of the thinking of Hegel and the Young Hegelians that allowed Marx and Engels to formulate what became the general outlook we today think of as Marxism. \nIn this seminar\, we will study various works of the Young Hegelians including David Strauss\, Ludwig Feuerbach\, Bruno Bauer\, Max Stirner\, and others\, and including as well some early writings of Marx and Engels themselves. \nThe philosophy of Hegel as well as numerous of the Young Hegelians also included reactionary\, racist/white-supremacist thought\, which we will give special critical attention to. The rejection of Hegel and the Young Hegelians by Marx and Engels is also in important ways a rejection of the racism and white-supremacy and all that that has historically entailed in the development of contemporary capitalist society. This theme will be of fundamental importance in this class as will be the critique of the system of patriarchy – the oppressive subordination of women to men – the struggle to end such oppressions being fundamental to Marxism. \nThe course will run for 14 weeks on Friday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM starting September 16\, 2016 and continuing until December 16\, 2016. We will be reading the book The Young Hegelians: An Anthology\, edited by Lawrence S. Stepelevich. (Arrangements will be made for students who cannot buy a copy of this book which costs about $12 online in a Kindle edition\, or from about $25 and up for a used copy on abe.com or elsewhere.) \nRussell Dale is an activist and a philosopher. He teaches philosophy at Lehman College\, CUNY. He taught classes on Hegel and various other topics for the last six years. Russell is also on the Manuscript Collective and Editorial Board of the Marxist journal Science & Society\, as well as on the Local Station Board of radio station WBAI\, 99.5 FM (wbai.org).

The laboring part of today’s global proletariat is greater than the world’s entire population 40 years ago. Now there are workers from all parts of the globe working for the same set of bosses. \nCapitalists continually seek new avenues to expand their capital and commodify all that exists. The digital revolution has sped all this up\, quickening accumulation which lays the basis for more frequent crises. Capital continues in ever new forms the process of enclosures that began with the forcible removal of the peasantry from the land in medieval Europe. Throughout the global south\, displaced peasants are forced to migrate to cities or internationally\, working in factories or informal economies. Many others are conscripted into comprador armies to protect the extractive industries ravaging their regions. There is also outright robbery: the Panama Papers reveal the extent to which capital has fleeced the global proletariat. After more than three decades of assault on organized labor\, privatization\, austerity and structural adjustment have gutted hard-won social programs. Automation\, digitization and strategic relocation of work\, combined with just-in-time assembly\, make millions “redundant”. At the same time Walmartization\, Uberization\, Amazonification exemplify our marginalization and precarity. \nAs we plan this intensive\, workers and students are in motion throughout France\, from Nuit Debout gatherings to general strikes against austerity.  Greek workers\, hit harder still by austerity\, are reaching out to support the tide of refugees. The contract just won by the Verizon workers in the U.S. after a nation-wide strike represents a major victory. The Sanders campaign has helped normalize the concept of socialism\, but the Left and social movements have not figured out how to articulate a viable socialist alternative and build a corresponding movement. \nOver the four days of this Intensive\, we will study the causes behind these developments\, learn about some obstacles to organizing and the challenges facing workers at work and in their communities\, and consider various left analyses about social realities and the prospects for organizing. We will assess the lessons of workers’ movements globally and historically\, with emphasis on prospects in the US and the global south. Through collaborative study and discussion\, we aim to provide a challenging learning environment so each participant can develop his/her own theoretical and analytic tools to advance our organizing and movement building work in order to broaden opposition to capital locally\, nationally and internationally. \nFRIDAY\, JULY 15 / 10:00 am • Imperialism Today: Super-Exploitation & Marxist Theory • WALTER DAUM • 1:00- 4:00 pm • Class Consciousness\, Class Struggle & Self-Organizing Using Image Theater • presented by The Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory (TOPLAB) • facilitated by JANET GERSON • MARIE-CLAIRE PICHER • 5:30 pm • Public Banking: A Marxist Response to Finance Capital  • DAN KARAN • 7:30 pm • Southern Insurgency: Mass Movements Throughout the Global South • LISA MAYA KNAUER \nSATURDAY\, JULY 16 / 10:00 am • Slackers\, Sabotage\, & Syndicalism: American Labor History & The Refusal of Work • KRISTIN LAWLER  • 1:00  pm • Beyond Bernie: The Crisis of Labor & The Left in the United States • MARK DUDZIC • 3:30 pm • Prometheus in Ruins?: Uses & Abuses of the Hero Who Stole Fire • ANTHONY GALLUZZO • 5:30 pm • Logistics\, Capitalist Circulation\, Chokepoints • CHARMAINE CHUA • 7:30 pm • Devils & Dust: Resisting War in New York\, the Pacific\, & the Middle East • CLAUDE COPELAND • LAUREL MEI-SINGH • YUKO TONOHIRA \nSUNDAY\, JULY 17 / 11:00 am • It’s Not Over: Lessons for Socialists from the October Revolution\, Prague Spring and the Sandinistas • PETE DOLACK • 1:00 pm • Labor in the Global Digital Economy • URSULA HUWS • 3:30 pm • Sexuality\, Gender & Neoliberal Capitalism • KATE DOYLE-GRIFFITHS • LISA MAYA KNAUER  • 5:30 pm • Approaching Science from the Left: Uses & Abuses of Knowledge in the Planetary Crisis • REBECCA BOGER • STUART NEWMAN • DAVE SCHWARTZMAN • moderated by FRED MURPHY \nAs capitalist relations penetrate every nook and cranny of our planet and the most intimate realms of our lives\, a growing proportion of the world’s population is incorporated into the global proletariat—paid and unpaid workers and our families\, the unemployed and underemployed\, and the growing numbers who will never work.

SUMMARY:Spectres of the Dialectic from the Big Bang  to the Multiverse: Explorations with  Hegel\, Marx & Engels on the Philosophy of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Explorations with Hegel\, Marx & Engels on the Philosophy of Nature \nThrough writings\, videos\, and other media we will engage in issues in modern physics and biology that get to the core of the current crisis in science and take us beyond the limitations of the mechanical picture of the world we have inherited. \nThis class will be a deep engagement in fundamental philosophical and scientific questions concerning space\, time\, matter\, motion\, entropy\, evolution and origins. We will be engaged in readings and presentations in philosophy as well as biological and physical science. Debates in contemporary physics and biology will be highlighted for their implications for a dialectical philosophy of nature. No prior background is required. \nAlex Steinberg taught Engels and the Dialectics of Nature at the Brecht Forum in the Spring of 2014. He has previously given classes on Hegel and Marxist philosophy and been a presenter at the Left Forum. He has also served on the local and national boards of radio station WBAI. \nSuggested tuition: $95 / $125 • No one turned away for inability to pay
