English | 2011 | ISBN: 1539933644 | EPUB | pages: 156 | 0.2 mb
"So clear a summary of Marx’s economic theories…. As an example of stern compression and yet lucid exposition of Marx’s teachings, this little book deserves high praise….There is given a sketch of the life of Marx, his development in knowledge and thought, his work in the various movements of the Working Class, his theories of history and class struggles, and his economic discoveries. In addition, a brief account of the Hegelian Philosophy, so far as it deals with the Dialectic, is placed in 19 pages of the Introduction. Marx’s connection and debt to this school of philosophy is well shown." -J. Fitzgerald, The Socialist Standard, No. 208 December 1921

Free Download The Liberation of Life through Death: Reading Tolstoy’s "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" By Jason Hoult
2022 | 65 Pages | ISBN: 303107615X | PDF | 1 MB
This book undertakes to show how the exercise of reading Tolstoy’s "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" involves articulating for ourselves, as readers, what it means to liberate life through death. What Tolstoy’s short story shows us, the author argues, is that life can be truly liberated through death only when we see that death is neither a supernatural event nor a natural end but involves a work of love. In Part 1 of his study, the author addresses the common assumptions that give rise to the idea that religious and secular views of life and death are opposed in modernity. He also examines the history of values that Tolstoy’s story embodies. In Part 2, he analyses the life and death of Ivan Ilyich in order to show that the values that are embedded in Tolstoy’s story are at once religious and secular.
