Description

This anthology of reflections and observations features a firsthand view into the mind of the freewheeling leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, in the midst of developing his thought and re-envisioning the communist project. Featuring excerpts from a range of formal talks and informal discussions, this collection examines his cutting-edge vision and theory on topics at the centre of current philosophical debate-how humans acquire truth, whether truth exists, the role of art and imagination in being human, and a Marxist view of the Enlightenment. Up against what he perceives to be Dark Ages-thought from the seats of power and 'Bush-ism' in the Communist Movement, he brings forth an epistemology of intoxication with truth, a scientific world view, and an inviting vision of a Communist society.
