Platypus reading group: What is „left“? What is „marxism“?
The historical roots of the Left and Marxism in the bourgeois revolution of the 17th-18th centuries and its 19th century crisis in capitalism are addressed through readings from Karl Marx and the background in radical bourgeois philosophy of Rousseau, Kant, and Hegel. 20th century attempts to recover Marx and Marxism’s political consciousness by the Frankfurt School and in the 1960s-70s “New Left” frame the problem of consciousness of the Left in the mid-late 20th century leading to the present, through writings by Karl Marx, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Georg Lukacs, Karl Korsch, and Leszek Kolakowski.
