The Mechanics of Epistemic Contextualism

The Dialectical Gyrations in and between Hegel and Marx

Introduction. This paper initially intended to address discussions regarding the importance and scope of an alleged break between the early, philosophical articles of the revolutionary theoretician Karl Marx (1818-1883) and his later, mature historical-materialist socioeconomic investigations.

One, Trump is according to many mental health professionals not capable of such reasoning anymore and, two, according to many geopolitical analysts the risks far outweigh the advantages … Continue reading “President Trump should be submitted for a Psychiatric Evaluation”

Global Rift: The Third World Comes of Age (Review)

Last summer I read with pleasure Dr. Stravianos’ historical narrative of the genesis of the Third World during the 400 year expansion of capitalism throughout the world.
