""Is The Philosophy Of Dialectical Materialism Out Of Date?"" by Joseph McCabe is a thought-provoking book that explores the relevance and validity of the philosophical theory of dialectical materialism in contemporary times. The author delves into the history, origins, and principles of dialectical materialism, which is a Marxist theory that emphasizes the role of material conditions and social relations in shaping human consciousness and history. McCabe critically examines the key tenets of dialectical materialism, such as the concept of historical materialism, the theory of class struggle, and the idea of the negation of the negation. He also evaluates the criticisms and challenges that have been raised against dialectical materialism by other philosophers and thinkers. Through his analysis, McCabe argues that while dialectical materialism may have some limitations and shortcomings, it still holds relevance and importance in understanding the complexities of contemporary society and politics. He asserts that dialectical materialism can provide a valuable framework for analyzing social and economic issues, and for envisioning a more just and equitable world. Overall, ""Is The Philosophy Of Dialectical Materialism Out Of Date?"" is a stimulating and insightful book that will appeal to anyone interested in Marxist philosophy, political theory, or social justice issues.Contents: The Start From Hegel, The Blend With Materialism, The Flaming Background, Science And Dialectical Materialism, The Economic Determination Of History, Dialectical Materialism Today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
