Sent to me by accident rather than the list? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Books on Dialectical Materialism Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2011 01:51:34 -0400 (EDT) From: sha...@aol.com To: l...@panix.com Some contributors recently commented on available works on dialectical materialism. Works on this subject were available to active Marxists from the twenties onward. Edward Conze, known mostly for his later years as a Buddhist scholar, was the author of "Introduction to Dialectical Materialism," a compendium of articles he wrote for Plebs (or it may have been Labour Mounthly) in the early twenties, as well as " Scientific Thinking, an Introduction to Dialectical Materialism." August Thalheimer, German Communist and then right oppositionist, wrote "Introduction to Dialectical Materialism," a series of lectures given at Sun Yat Sen University in Moscow for the Comintern as a teaching vehicle for Chinese radicals studying there in the twenties. (Both Conze and Thalheimer were ihad associations with the POUM. Conze wrote "Spain Today: Revolution and Counter Revolution" written before the outbreak of the Civil War, and based in part on Joaquin Maurin's "Revolution and Counter Revolution in Spain," which Conze had first intended to translate but then decided to do his own work. Thalheimer's "Notes on a Visit to Catalonia" being reports sent back to Heinrich Brandler in 1936 and available on the net is an extremely insteresting document). ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
