Algo más que el adiós al marxismo. El XXVIII Congreso del PSOE y el derecho de autodeterminación
2021
El XXVIII Congreso del Partido Socialista Obrero Español, celebrado en mayo de 1979, ha sido recordado por la célebre renuncia de Felipe González a la Secretaría General. El PSOE se había reafirmado como marxista y González acababa de perder el debate nominalista sobre la definición del partido. Aquel impacto emocional y mediático permitió ocultar tras los fuegos de artificio otros debates de mayor trascendencia práctica que también se dieron cita en aquel encuentro. Entre ellos, el que tenía que ver con su modelo de política autonómica. Desde 1979 estaba en juego cómo iba a construirse el Estado de las Autonomías, y el PSOE tenía la oportunidad de establecer en la resolución sobre autonomí…
Monetary Plurality in Economic Theory
2018
The objective of this article is to identify the monetary plurality in economic theory. We will try to throw light on the way in which theories are attracted towards both unicity and plurality, and more specifically by unification and diversification of money. It should also be noted, in this respect, that the economics of money has undergone considerable development since the 1970s. A survey of the diverse theories, whether mainstream or not, static or dynamic, holistic or individualistic, will reveal the surprising amount of attention devoted to the problem of monetary unicity and/or plurality. We base our presentation on two lines of thought: -The first of these lines concerns a situatio…

On the reception of Wilhelm von Humboldt’s linguistic ideas in the Soviet Union from the late 1920s to the early 1950s
2015
The present article discusses the Soviet reception of Humboldt’s linguistic ideas, focusing on different interpretations of his ideas during the period between the latter half of the 1920s and the early 1950s. While Humboldt’s idea of the inner form of language was an important ingredient in Shpet’s phenomenology, the attitude towards Humboldt changed radically in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the ‘bolshevization’ of the sciences had reached linguistics. The idea that language, nation, and culture are closely interconnected was at odds with the ‘Marxist’ idea of class-language, according to which linguistic diversity derives from the socio-economic characteristics of societies. In the…
Personal Reflections on Dirk Jan Struik By Joseph W. Dauben
2018
Dirk Jan Struik, who taught for many years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and died on 21 October 2000 at the age of 106, was a distinguished mathematician and influential teacher. He was also widely known as a leading Marxist scholar and social activist. His early work on vector and tensor analysis, undertaken together with Jan Arnoldus Schouten, helped impart new mathematical techniques needed to master Einstein’s general theory of relativity. This collaboration lasted for over 20 years, but by the end of the 1930s, Struik came to realize that the heyday of the Ricci calculus had passed. After the Second World War, having now entered his 50s, he gave up mathematical research …
East Asia in the Global Economy: Theoretical and Empirical Questions for Marxism
2019
As Marxism and socialism pass through watershed years it is important to reflect on the abiding questions of Marxist theory and empirical analysis. This article takes up this task in the context of East Asia under the impetus of globalisation and neo-liberalism, introducing a collection of five articles collected in the special issue. The article shows that questions Marx posed about the global economy more than a century ago remain prescient and continue to animate cutting-edge research, as shown in the articles in this special issue.
Umowa czy harmonia społeczna
2017
There are some well-known critiques of social contract undertaken from the traditionalist, communitarian and Marxist perspectives. This article suggests a different, rationalist approach: the return to classical rationality. I show that the idea of the social contract has its basis in the mistaken modern assertions concerning human nature, identifying human beings as individuals moved by desires and the will to power, and the phenomenon of life as an endless conflict. I argue that cooperation is essential to human life. It is cooperation and the presence of ethics in the public and private spheres that makes us fully human and civilized beings. The community organized according to the requi…
The discoursive research orientation and its marxist inspiration
2014
Questions about the specifics of bulding of socio-political sphere phenomenon, lied at the dawn of countless attempts of systematization of knowledge over this subject, and of constructing the axioms, responding to efforts to enucleate of algorithm, ruling the dynamics of this sphere. One of such examples is discoursive research orientation. It was an effect of series of transformations inside social sciences during XXth century. Nonetheless, its program was not completely utilized by researchers achivements. I would like to express the conviction that primary catalogue of inspirations derives from rich achivements of Marxist thought. As node points of those considerations I take four inspi…
Constitución y verdad. La controversia entre Rafael de Vélez y Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva a propósito de la <em>Apología del Trono</em>
2017
El trabajo aborda el lugar del discurso antiliberal reaccionario en los primeros años de la Revolución en España. Se centra para ello en la controversia que mantuvieron el diputado liberal Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva y el publicista y fraile capuchino Rafael de Vélez entre 1820 y 1825. Las fuentes utilizadas remiten directamente a los escritos de ambos polemistas tomando como punto de partida la «Apología del Trono» del Padre Vélez. Metodológicamente, la perspectiva de análisis adoptada parte de la consideración teórica de que la crítica al liberalismo, en sus diversas manifestaciones, fue parte inherente al proceso revolucionario y no un elemento marginal del mismo. El examen confrontado de…
Polish zombie-proletariat. Political recomposition of class
2014
The main goal of the paper is to show, that Marxist vocabulary can still be relevant in the debate on Polish transition and helpful to establish new recomposition of the working class, that will be more effective as political subject. Political recomposition of proletariat is treated here as a main condition of ability for Polish society to make history it’s own subject again. The paper also contains: some methodological insights on the conditions of Marxism’s relevancy today; overview of some narratives on Polish transition from Marxist perspective; and my own proposal to treat the transition as a part of new wave of global enclosures, which is the essence of neoliberalism.
