For our meeting this Thursday, September 23, which will be from 7-8 PM at the 6th floor lounge of the philosophy building (5 Washington Pl), we will be hosting a seminar on the preface and section A of Karl Marx’s The German Ideology. We are honored to have Daniel Brinkerhoff Young joining us as a specialist in the subject to discuss with us the many influential ideas found in the brief excerpt, which you can find here: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology/ch01.htm (please read the preface and section A). Daniel is a final year Ph.D. student in philosophy here at NYU, and he has written his dissertation on social alienation, utilizing a novel reading of Marx (and Fanon) to analyze and understand the phenomenon. As this meeting will be a seminar, we highly encourage everyone to read the excerpt so that we may all have a more fruitful dialogue. Of course, the reading is not required, so even if you do not have the time to finish it, we encourage you to come learn more about this important work of Marx’s philosophy.
