Thus, for example, in Hegel’s philosophy of law, civil law superseded equals morality, morality superseded equals the family, the family superseded equals civil society, civil society superseded equals the state, the state superseded equals world history. In the actual world civil law, morality, the family, civil society, the state, etc., remain in existence, only they have become moments - states of the existence and being of man - which have no validity in isolation, but dissolve and engender one another, etc. They have become moments of motion.

Back in 1758, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) prohibited members from participating in the slave trade. At the same time, one of the founders of Methodism, John Wesley outlined his basic tenets of social investing. He preached about responsible and irresponsible business practices that could harm the health and safety of workers. Eventually, Miller (1992) argued that individuals or groups who truly care about ethical, moral, religious or political principles should invest their money in accordance with their values and principles.

Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality. Put another way, we are not yet queer. We may never touch queerness, but we can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality. We have never been queer, yet queerness exists for us as an ideality that can be distilled from the past and used to imagine a future. The future is queerness’s domain. Queerness is a structuring and educated mode of desiring that allows us to see and feel beyond the quagmire of the present. The here and now is a prison house.

On Dialectical Materialism

Dialectical materialism (...) does not perceive motion as simple movement in place and as cyclical, but as limitless and qualitative in its diversity. Dialectical materialism regards motion as transformation from one form to another, and the unity of the world's matter and the motion of matter as the unity and motion of the limitless diversity of the world's matter.

A Stakeholder Approach

In addition to these concepts that seek to look at the social responsibility of business, there is a much older body of literature on which scholars in business and society have drawn. Historians, political scientists, economists (especially the more recent public choice economists) and political philosophers have been concerned with the relationship between the corporation and government. Epstein (1969) has analyzed the literature on the role of the corporation in American politics and concluded that “at the pres- ent time, corporations should not be subject to special restrictions limiting the nature or extent of their political involvement.“ He goes on (...)

Whiteness As Property

Even after the period of conquest and colonization of the New World and the abolition of slavery, whiteness was the predicate for attaining a host of societal privileges, in both public and private spheres. Whiteness determined whether one could vote, travel freely, attend schools, obtain work, and indeed, defined the structure of social relations along the entire spectrum of interactions between the individual and society. Whiteness then became status, a form of racialized privilege ratified in law (...) After the dismantling of legalized race segregation, whiteness took on the character of property in the modern sense in that relative white (...)

Francis Bacon observed that “[the human understanding resembles not a dry light, but admits a tincture of the will and passions, which gen- erate their own system accordingly, for man always believes more readily that which he prefers.“' Contemporary psychologists have reached the same conclusion as Bacon. The notion has even become widespread in popular culture. Witness the linguists' “word of the year“ for 2005:
“truthiness,“ defined as “the quality of stating concepts one wishes or believes to be true, rather than the facts.““ Psychologists have referred to this process as motivated reasoning, where motivation refers to any “wish, desire (...)

1846 Letter To Annenkov

The productive forces are the result of man’s practical energy, but that energy is in turn circumscribed by the conditions in which man is placed by the productive forces already acquired, by the form of society which exists before him, which he does not create, which is the product of the preceding generation.

Socially responsible investing. It is a well-worn term that grew in prominence during the 1980s and 1990s, but its roots trace back two millennia, shaped by civil-rights-era thinkers, faith-based organizations, and women. The modern SRI process stands on three pillars:
1. Values-based avoidance screens
2. Proactive sustainability-focused analytics - colloquially referred to as “ESG investing” and
3. Corporate engagement and impact investing.

Introduction To One Dimentional (...)

The book [One Dimentional Man] contains a theory of “advanced industrial society“ that describes how changes in production, consumption, culture, and thought have produced an advanced state of conformity in which the production of needs and aspirations by the prevailing societal apparatus integrates individuals into the established societies. Marcuse describes what has become known as the “technological society,“ in which technology restructures labor and leisure, influencing life from the organization of labor to modes of thought. He also describes the mechanisms through which consumer capitalism integrates individuals into its world of thought and behavior.

What Is Crime?

In 1937, Thorsten Sellin argued that criminology could never truly claim to be a science as long as it allowed legislators and judges to determine its subject matter. In Sellin’s view, scientific inquiry is based on the study of the ‘‘natural properties’’ of some category of objects, behaviors, or events. Legislative designations of certain behaviors as criminal, he noted, create the appearance of a common category of behavior, however, these appear- ances are ‘‘external similarities’’ created by virtue of having been given the common label of crime.

René Descartes, the founder of Modern Western Philosophy, inaugurates a new moment in the history of Western thought. He replaces God, as the foundation of knowledge in the Theo-politics of knowledge of the European Middle Ages, with (Western) Man as the foundation of knowledge in European Modern times. All the attributes of God are now extrapolated to (Western) Man. Universal Truth beyond time and space privileges access to the laws of the Universe, and the capacity to produce scientific knowledge and theory is now placed in the mind of Western Man. The Cartesian “Cogito ergo sum” (“I think, therefore I (...)

Fanon wrote Black Skin, White Masks when he was 27. Published in 1952, it was his first and perhaps most enduring book. And it was ignored. Its significance was recognized only after the death of the author, particularly after the publication of the English translation a decade and a half later in 1967. It was a year when anti-war campaigning was at its height; and student strikes and protests, that began at Columbia University, New York, started to spread like wildfire across the United States and Europe. Martin Luther King was leading the civil rights movement and was to be (...)

The notion of race took hold in order to justify the capital accumulation of colonialism, a term that I use to include White settler colonialism and land seizure, the transatlantic slave trade, religious missionary efforts, forceful invasion and occupation, and additionally the epistemic violence and resulting legacy that persists today. Racism is therefore “not simply a by-product of empire but an intrinsic part of it, part of the intestines of empire” (Pieterse, 1989, p. 223). The capitalist roots of racism mean that all racism necessarily involves cap- italism, and that all capitalism is racial capitalism (Melamed, 2011), with the production (...)

In the 1920s, W.E.B. Du Bois started binge-reading Karl Marx. by the time the Great Depression depressed the Black poor worse than the White poor, and he saw in the New Deal the same old deal of government racism for Black workers, Du Bois conceived of an antiracist anticapitalism. Howard University economist Abram Harris, steeped in a post-racial Marxism that ignores the color line as stubbornly as any color-blind racist, pleaded with Du Bois to reconsider his intersecting of anticapitalism and antiracism.

Mill, however, is not quite a free speech absolutist, though he does come much closer than many other philosophers. He proposes “one simple principle” to determine when one’s liberty, including one’s right to free speech, may be infringed. The principle is known as the harm principle, and he argues that it provides the only justification for interfering with the right to free speech. The harm principle states that the sole end for which individuals or society can put limits on a person’s liberty (including free speech) is self-protection. Put another way, the harm principle says that the only justifiable interference (...)

Discourse On Inequality

It is still more cruel that, as every advance made by the human species removes it still farther from its primitive state, the more discoveries we make, the more we deprive ourselves of the means of making the most important of all. Thus it is, in one sense, by our very study of man, that the knowledge of him is put out of our power.

In the first volume of The History of Sexuality, Foucault argues that the univocal construct of “sex” (one is one’s sex and, therefore, not the other) is (a) produced in the service of the social regulation and control of sexuality and (b) conceals and artificially unifies a variety of disparate and unrelated sexual functions and then (c) postures within discourse as a cause, an interior essence which both produces and renders intelligible all manner of sensation, pleasure, and desire as sex-specific. In other words, bodily pleasures are not merely causally reducible to this ostensibly sex-specific essence, but they become readily (...)

Critical Hate Studies: A (...)

Originally having grown out of the civil rights movement in the USA, studies of bias motivated offending, hate incidents and speech have burgeoned more recently in the UK and Europe. Beyond Europe hate studies have also expanded as evidenced by the breadth of papers presented at the International Network for Hate Studies conferences 2018 and 2020. Official categories of hate victims based on perceived identities, have expanded to include legally protected characteristics and officially recognised police categories of disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation and transgender identity (Sherry, 2010; James, 2015; McBride, 2018).

Innocence And Affiffirmative Action

Notwithstanding that the public ideology has become nonracist, the culture continues to teach racism. The manifestations of racial ste- reotypes pervade our media and language. Racism is reflected in the complex set of individual and collective choices that make our schools, our neighborhoods, our work places, and our lives racially segregated.
Racism today paradoxically is both “irrational and normal. '' Racism is at once inconsistent with the dominant public ideology and is embraced by each of us, albeit for most of us at the unconscious level. This paradox of irrationality and normalcy is part of the reason for the unconscious (...)

Coined by DiAngelo, white fragility gives a name to the ubiquitous practice in which white people react with a range of defensive moves that compensate for even the slightest distress caused by challenges to their racial worldviews and/or to their racial innocence. White fragility is the “state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves” (DiAngelo 2011, 54). White fragility is implied when George Yancy describes white people as “not in crisis vis-a-vis their whiteness; they are under constant therapeutic reprieve, assured there is nothing problematic about whiteness, about their white (...)
