News and Letters Committees invites you to the inaugural meeting of a hybrid in-person/online book group on Philosophy and Revolution

Learn about Marxist-Humanism and join a study group on the philosophy the right wing despises and totally mischaracterizes. Explore the truth about this philosophy of freedom from the founder of Marxist-Humanism in the U.S., Raya Dunayevskaya. We’ll be taking up her second book in her “Trilogy of Revolution”: Philosophy and Revolution. At this inaugural meeting, participants will decide how to proceed.

Erich Fromm advises: “For everyone who is seriously interested in the forces which form and deform the present and the future, this book is to be most warmly recommended.

Louis Dupre writes of this work: “Whereas earlier interpretations limit the revolutionary impact of Hegel’s thought to the sociopolitical order, Dunayevskaya aims at a total liberation of the human person. She assumes within her theory of class struggle issues as diverse as feminism and black liberation.”

Of her own book Raya Dunayevskaya wrote: “Only when the ideal of a new classless society no longer remains simply as an ‘underlying philosophy’ but becomes social practice—at one and the same time uprooting the exploitative inhuman capital-labor relations as well as creating totally new human relations, beginning with the Man-Woman relationship—can we say we have met the challenge of our age both in philosophy and in revolution. It is to this I hope Philosophy and Revolution has made a contribution.”
