Is The Philosophy Of Dialectical Materialism Out Of Date?

By Joseph McCabe

Book Overview

""Is The Philosophy Of Dialectical Materialism Out Of Date?"" is a book written by Joseph McCabe that explores the relevance of the philosophy of dialectical materialism in modern times. The book delves into the history and principles of dialectical materialism, which is a Marxist philosophy that emphasizes the interconnectedness of matter and the dialectical process of change. McCabe examines the criticisms of dialectical materialism, including its perceived lack of empirical evidence and its association with authoritarian regimes. He also considers the potential benefits of dialectical materialism, such as its emphasis on social justice and its critique of capitalism. Throughout the book, McCabe engages with various philosophical and political perspectives, providing a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of dialectical materialism. Ultimately, he argues that while the philosophy may need to be updated and adapted to modern circumstances, its fundamental principles remain relevant and valuable for understanding society and promoting social change.Contents: The Start From Hegel, The Blend With Materialism, The Flaming Background, Science And Dialectical Materialism, The Economic Determination Of History, Dialectical Materialism Today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
