Lenin w Anglii

Author(s): Mario Tronti / Language(s): Polish Issue: 20/2016

Lenin w Anglii to słynny tekst Trontiego otwierający pierwszy numer czasopisma „Classe operaia, założonego po tym, jak Tronti wraz ze współpracownikami zerwał ze środowiskiem pierwszego operaizmu skupionego wokół Quaderni Rossi. To właśnie w tym tekście Tronti sformułował słynny „kopernikański zwrot w marksizmie”, zgodnie z którym punktem wyjścia analizy rzeczywistości społecznej i historii kapitalizmu powinna być walka klasy robotniczej, a nie prawa rozwoju kapitału. Do zdefiniowania zwrotu popchnęła Trontiego przedstawiona w tekście diagnoza sytuacji włoskiej klasy robotniczej w latach 60. Kontrowersyjne tezy Trontiego i jego radykalna postawa wpłynęły znacząco na dyskusje prowadzone na radykalnej włoskiej lewicy i na działania wielu aktywistów w latach 60. i 70.

Marks autonomistów: poza dziewiętnastowieczną episteme

Author(s): Joanna Bednarek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The interpretation of Marx’s theory provided by autonomist Marxists aims at transcending the perspective of capital and adapting the perspective of labor. For this reason they offer the subjectivist, ‘minoritarian’ reading of Marx’s main concepts and decide to concentrate on class struggle instead of the objective laws of capital. The examples of this type of reading Marx that I chose to present are Antonio Negri’s discussion of the end of the law of value in Marx beyond Marx, Leopoldina Fortunati’s attempt to develop Marxist analysis of reproductive labor and Harry Cleaver’s description of the working class’ agency as the main force behind the capital’s development.

Czytelnicy Marksa, czyli powrót do teorii tradycyjnej: św. Jürgen

Author(s): Aleksander Zbrzezny / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The paper concerns a (narrow, but significant) problem of changes in critical theory paradigm. The main question of this paper is whether we are still able to speak/think about critical theory, especially in case of contemporary authors – like Jürgen Habermas, who is often considered as a legal successor of the Frankfurt School. In the first part, the author shows some connections between Marx’s thought and critical theory. In the second part, the author discusses a specific way of misreading Marx’s works, mainly in The Theory of Communicative Action. The third part of the paper is dedicated to a problem of differences between the “old” critical theory and the new one, represented by Habermas. The author claims that rejection of historiosophy and Habermas’s critique of the term ‘teleology’ both are making theory more positive than critical. Another important difference is the relation theory – praxis, which becomes similar to the traditional theory. Finally, the author points that it is very difficult to speak about Saint Jürgen as a rightful continuator of critical theory.

Korzyść z Marksa w debacie na temat obiektów własności intelektualnej

Author(s): Bartosz Mika / Language(s): Polish Issue: 29/2012

The aim of this article is to identify the differences between literal – often superficial – using the achievements of Karl Marx and the real potential of the classic theory of socio-economic. The area of its application will be events and processes taking place in the area, generally speaking, the new economy. This literal use the creator’s thought of historical materialism is not indeed the most harmful. There are intellectuals who use the name of Marx as a tool for ideological struggle. For example, accusing supporters of “free software” infatuation with the Communism. So it is Marx’s theory and the person falsely useful to all those who contrary to the scientifi c interpretation of the thoughts the author of the Capital treat them as an “element of the practical doctrine”. Meanwhile, the legacy of Karl Marx has considerable – in our opinion – the explanatory potential. The current discourse related phenomena such as downloading music or video materials from the Internet is based on legal interpretations of property rights. This state of affairs is obviously not without influence on the shape of the debate from the perspective of sociological refl ection on society distorted image created by the legal doctrine. In this text we will try to demonstrate that the scientifi c description of empirical facts related to intellectual property rights can only benefit from the introduction to the elements drawn from Marx’s theory. A tool to make such an attempt would be a reinterpretation of the major categories in this debate on the basis of – derived primarily from the German philosopher – a category of property.

Crisis, Identity and the End of Modernity: When Critical Theory Met Existentialism

Author(s): Bojan Blagojevic / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2018

The topic of this essay will be the political reception of the existential thought of Kierkegaard, provided by Habermas and Matuštik. While Habermas attempts to use Kierkegaard’s concepts of honesty and ethical choice in order to resolve the problems in constructing rational and democratic collective identities, Matuštik is concerned with the mode of existence that individuals within those collective identities must assume in order to safeguard them from totalitarianism.Kierkegaard’s work responds to a crisis at the end of Modernity, his conception of the authentic individual compelled to make leaps of faith represents an attempt to diagnose and remedy the situation of axiological vacuum and disillusion with the traditional forms of justification. We will proceed to show how this crisis reflects on both the individual and the collective identities, the breaks and continuations of Kierkegaard’s work with both pre-Modern traditions and Modernity, and finally, point out the implications of Kierkegaard’s position as well as that of Habermas and Matuštik.

Capital and Marx’s Epistemological Revolution from Neue Marx-Lektüre to Political Marxism

Author(s): Ankica Čakardić / Language(s): English Issue: 2-3/2020

The paper discusses the thesis about Marx’s “epistemological revolution” by elaborating two issues that incorporate two entirely different contemporary Marxist traditions. To give this undertaking a more precise formulation, in its first part, the study examines the relationship between theory and history within the critique of political economy, proposed by Michael Heinrich under the tradition known as Neue Marx-Lektüre. It then turns to introducing the second part of the discussion related to the “commercialization model” of capitalist development, outlined by Robert Brenner and Ellen Meiksins Wood within the context of the so-called Political Marxism. A special emphasis is thereby put on the latter, since it deals with the contemporary nature of a few distinct epistemological and methodological novelties of the Capital, as well as some posited in the Grundrisse.

RADNA TEORIJA VREDNOSTI, PROSTA ROBNA PROIZVODNJA I TRANSFORMACIONI PROBLEM

Author(s): Bill Jefferies / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2023

This article revaluates contemporary criticism of Marx’s value theory. Key tenets of Marx’s value theory are widely rejected. The use of labour (abstract or otherwise) as a standard of value is deemed ‘mystical’ or ‘magical’. The logical-historical method is false. The notion of simple commodity production a mistake. The solution to the transformation of values into prices of production mathematically incorrect. The theory of surplus value is superfluous. Okshio’s theorem refutes Marx’s law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. This article shows that the assumptions necessary to sustain this critique amount to a rejection of human production in general and capitalist production in particular.

Filosofia românească între 1950 și 1990. Cibernetica în „societatea socialistă multilateral dezvoltată” din R.S.R.

Author(s): Dragoș Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2024

The following paper continues the exploration of the Ro-manian Marxism-Leninism previously initiated by our journal. The „Multilateral Developed So-cialist Society” is, for this time, the starting point of our investigation. This type of socialist soci-ety was targeted by the Romanian Marxist-Leninist theoretical effort, after the April 1964 Decla-ration of PMR, and especially in the last twenty years of building socialism in Romania. For the future „Multilateral Developed Socialist Society”, the systematic use of the principles of a new science, Cybernetics, to the control of the production process and the society, was inevita-ble. In „The Multilateral Developed Socialist Society”, thanks to the new science of command and control, the individuals will be strongly connected; the emergent new kind of society was de-scribed as a „wired society”. The role of Philosophy (equivalent with „The Marxist-Leninist Philosophy”) as ideological fac-tor in „The Multilateral Developed Socialist Society” has suffered a considerable change in the last years of Romanian Communist Regime. Under the influence of the new conception of Na-ture and Society, originated in systemic thought, the main concepts of Dialectical and Historical Materialism became almost unrecognizable from more classical Marxist-Leninist perspective.
