Exploring the Labyrinth of Marxist Philosophy: Amogh Sahu on the Legacy of Lukacs
13 Nov 2023
Prepare to step into the labyrinth of Marxist philosophy! Journey with us and our esteemed guest, Amogh Sahu, a PhD candidate from Columbia University, as we dive into the minds of George Lukacs and Antonio Gramsci. Unravel the complexities of Lukash's Marxist methodology and its often misunderstood form, standpoint epistemology. Grasp new insights as we explore the unique understanding the oppressed have about the system that oppresses them.Our intellectual expedition continues as we challenge the power of circular logic and its influence on online debates. Join us as we untangle the convoluted threads of assigning causal agency to aggregate abstractions and delve into the challenges of discussing causation. Reflect with us on the profound implications of tautological reasoning and the influence of Lukash's reinterpretation of the proletariat's role in history on his theories.Our discourse further unfolds as we evaluate the tensions between Lukash's praxis theory and capitalism, and dissect the essence of Lukash's theory of a real communist movement. We also question the implications of Marxists' views on the industrialization issues in India and conclude our conversation with a focus on secularization in the United States and its impact on our society. So, buckle up for a whirlwind ride through the intricate world of Marxist philosophy!Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.
