    Tragedy and Transformation

    Edited by John Foster ...

But if we really take ... Read more

  • Breaking the Bonds of Fate

    Epicurus and Marx

    by John Bellamy Foster ...
    The immanent dialectic of the ancient Greek materialist philosopher, Epicurus (341-270 BCE), helped inspire the nineteenth-century ideas of Karl Marx, forming the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Marx’s detailed study of Epicurus led him to develop his own materialist dialectic in distinction to the idealist philosophy of G. W.F. Hegel. Until now, however, there has been no full scholarly ...
