The Marxist Conception of the State
This translation of Max Adler's Die Staatsauffassung des Marxismus enables English readers to know a significant perspective on Marx's theory of the state, which was central to the interwar period in which he was writing (1922). In an extended dialogue with democratic jurist Hans Kelsen, Adler shows that the so-called necessity of law as the neutral arbiter of a democratic society has been heretofore a flawed imposition of the authoritative under…
The Role of Group Dynamics in the Transformation of Society toward Democratic “Solidarity”
In order to develop the Marxist conception of a “classless society,” one where democratic practices and equality among all its members are realized, one must educate the existing society in interpersonal praxis that generates mutual empathy and cooperation. Once such personal skills are normative for the society, then what many Marxists have understood as a “solidarity society,” a synonym for the classless society, has the foundation it requires.…
Austro-Marxism: The Ideology of Unity. Volume II
During the first half of the twentieth century, Austrian socialist thinkers such as Otto Bauer, Rudolf Hilferding, Karl Renner, and Max Adler emerged from and helped transform Austrian Social Democracy into one of Europe's best organized and most effective political and social movements. Equipped with extensive introductions that outline the intellectual and political background within which the Austro Marxists worked, these volumes represent the…
Otto Bauer and the Philosophy of Praxis – Then and Now
Otto Bauer (1881–1938) has emerged once more in the thought of Western Marxists. The dominant theoretical voice of the Austrian Social Democrats in the late Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the First Austrian Republic, Bauer was re-examined in the 1970s and ’80s as ‘the third way’ was being explored in European politics by Eurocommunists. Bauer again is being discussed in the twenty-first century as not only a European ‘third way’, but as a model fo…
Phenomenological Time, Historical Time, and The Writing of History
Contrary to Paul Ricoeur’s claim that there is an unbridgeable chasm between phenomenological time and historical time, my studies have shown me that the former is the cognitive foundation for the latter. The temporality formed in each sentential judgment can be discerned through a stylistic analysis of its grammar. This grammatical foundation which is established at the pre-reflective level of sentence formation becomes a basis in the maturing i…
Rejoinder to Lynda Stone
Continuity and Discontinuity, Change and Duration
Continuity and change in the narration of historical events are problematic concepts. Thomas Hobbes presented their complexity in his riddle of the ship Theseus (1655). He argued against “one objective history” by illustrating how wholly differing visions of what constituted continuity or discontinuity in a state of affairs could be factually justified. The recent national standards in historical thinking, articulated by the National Center for H…
