Preparing university students for the moral responsibility of early years education
This research collected the voices of students in a UK university, better to understand their perception of their ‘moral responsibility’ as trainee early years educators. The UK Early Years Framework states that practitioners will instil in young children an understanding of what is ‘right and wrong’. This is a formidable expectation in itself; yet early years educators are also expected to work ethically, sensitively and respectfully with a wide…
The Development of Self-Efficacy to Work with Suicidal Clients
Suicide is a public health crisis which counselors must be prepared to address. In this grounded theory study, the researchers advance a model to show how counselors develop self-efficacy to work with suicidal clients. Counselor educators may use this model to improve programmatic training and supervision of students

Selling the Future
At the Centre of the World
This chapter discusses the role of oracles in Roman and Greek politics during ancient times and raises some issues and patterns that we also find in our contemporary democracies. Whether in Greece or in Rome, oracles had an important political role. The messages that oracles were said to have spread were used by rulers when expressing some of their intentions; future telling was also a narrative that gave some legitimacy to political decisions. I…

Non-Violence
We know of the blood and tears provoked by the projects of transformation of the world through war or revolution. Starting from the essay published in 1921 by Walter Benjamin, twentieth century philosophy has been committed to the criticism of violence, even when it has claimed to follow noble ends. But what do we know of the dilemmas, of the “betrayals,” of the disappointments and tragedies which the movement of non-violence has suffered? This b…

Althusser
First published in 1987, Althusser, The Detour of Theory was widely received as the fullest account of its subject to date. Drawing on a wide range of hitherto untranslated material, it examined the political and intellectual contexts of Althusser’s ‘return to Marx’ in the mid-1960s; analysed the novel character of the Marxism developed in his major works; charted their author’s subsequent evolution, from his self-criticism to the proclamation of…

A Marxist Philosophy of Language
The purpose of this book is to give a precise meaning to the formula: English is the language of imperialism. Understanding that statement involves a critique of the dominant views of language, both in the field of linguistics (the book has a chapter criticising Chomsky’s research programme) and of the philosophy of language (the book has a chapter assessing Habermas’s philosophy of communicative action). The book aims at constructing a Marxist p…

Marx for Our Times
This title presents a brilliant defense of the continuing relevance of Marx's thought for understanding today's global political economy. The French philosopher Daniel Bensaid shows that Marx's 'critique of political economy' encompassed three great critiques of the scientific and political canons of its age - historical reason, sociological rationality and scientific positivism. We find here a 'post-postmodern Marx', inhabiting a contemporary wo…
Philosophy and the spontaneous philosophy of the scientists & other essays
Collected here are Althusser's most significant philosophical writings from 1965 to 1978. Intended to contribute, in his own words, to a left-wing critique of Stalinism that would help put some substance back into the project here in the West, they are the record of a shared history. At the same time they chart Althusser's critique of the theoretical system unveiled in his own major works, and his developing practice of philosophy as a revolution…
Marx for Our Times
The New Way of the World
"Exploring the genesis of neoliberalism, and the political and economic circumstances of its deployment, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval dispel numerous common misconceptions. Neoliberalism is neither a return to classical liberalism nor the restoration of "pure" capitalism. To misinterpret neoliberalism is to fail to understand what is new about it: far from viewing the market as a natural given that limits state action, neoliberalism seeks to…

Althusser's solitude∗
Noting the prevalence of the theme of ‘solitude’ in the writings of Louis Althusser, this paper aims to capture something of Althusser's own theoretical solitude as a Communist philosopher intent upon renovating Marxist theory in order to ‘help put some substance back into the revolutionary project . . . in the West’. It argues that Althusser's singularity within the Marxist tradition consists in his effective rupture not only with orthodox diale…
Parisian Impostures
Analysis terminated, analysis interminable
The recent publication of Louis Althusser's ‘autobiography’ has incited renewed interest in a Marxist thinker whose abrupt disappearance from the intellectual scene long predated his death and betokened a pervasive transfer of intellectual allegiances. Its reception, however, his invariably endorsed Althusser's ‘confessions’ as the last word on his life and work, treating as transparent a text that is more than usually opaque. The simultaneous ap…
The Odyssey of Paul Hirst
Over the last decade and a half, widespread shifts have occurred within Britain’s Left intelligentsia, in a complex series of changes, with many cross-currents—making for an intellectual and political scene today very different from that of the early 70’s. Some of these changes have been challenging and radicalizing
Further Adventures of the Dialectic
This essay is not about contemporary French philosophy, strictly speaking, but something which concerns it—an important episode in its modern history. Its intention is to deal, in very schematic terms, with the nature and evolution of French Marxism from the mid-1950s to the end of the 70s, focusing on two of its best-known and most influential representatives, Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser, and relating the internal history of their ambit…

Contentious Commitments
As Sunil Khilnani observes, in a characteristic turn of phrase, the marxisant intellectual culture of France after the Liberation ‘came to play a fundamental role in the entire afflatus of Western progressive thought’. Nettled by the Anglophone fashion for French modes in the 1960s and 70s, which invariably
Why is Research Invisible in Further Education
This paper attempts to answer the question: ‘why is research in further education largely undervalued by policy‐makers and practitioners alike?’ The paper adopts as a working definition that proposed by Stenhouse that, ‘research is systematic self‐critical enquiry’. It is noted that knowledge of, or based upon, research, is seldom valued within management studies as a key resource for managers. Significant contributory factors to the marginality …
Perry Anderson
A comprehensive study of perhaps the English-speaking world's most influential proponent of marxism. The book offers a view of the emergence of New Left theory in response to the degeneration of social democracy in the West and Communism in the East. It identifies the enduring influence on Anderson of such figures as Deutscher and Gramsci, and provides a detailed exposition and critique of Anderson's writings on politics and culture
Velocities of Change
In Considerations on Western Marxism, released in 1976, Perry Anderson stated and vindicated an affiliation to the Trotskyist tradition long apparent from the pages of New Left Review under his editorship. Central to this tradition, in its orthodox forms, was a historico-political perspective which regarded the Soviet Union (and cognate regimes) as ‘degenerate’ or ‘deformed’ ‘workers’ states’ – post-capitalist social formations whose complex char…
