About this product
Product Information
Raya Dunayevskaya is hailed as the founder of Marxist-Humanism in the United States. In this new collection of her essays co-editors Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson have crafted a work in which the true power and originality of Dunayevskaya's ideas are displayed. This extensive collection of writings on Hegel, Marx, and dialectics captures Dunayevskaya's central dictum that, contrary to the established views of Hegelians and Marxists, Hegel was of signal importance to the theory and practice of Marxism. The Power of Negativity sheds light not only on Marxist-Humanism and the rooting of Dunayevskaya's Marxist-Humanist theories in Hegel, but also on the life of one of America's most penetrating and provocative critical thinkers.

Reviews
Dunayevshaya..adds that the historic movement's reach for that solidarity in the human community needs to be met with a projection of Hegel's dialectic in relations to our own time's spirit., [This book] is the portrait of an exceptional mind at work, and a treasure trove of insights and provocative ideas. The matters Dunayevskaya brought forward remain of supreme historical importance. The editors have made this a labor of love, with fastidious footnoting, intertextual referencing, and a superb introduction. Dunayevskaya's courage and vitality shine through and through., A thorough, clear, and accessible introduction, written by Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson, explores the relationship of the dialectic to the nature of the present moment and the reationship of Dunayevskaya's work to contemporary issues in dialectical philosophy. . . This book makes a contribution to the clarification of theoretical issues that are central to the problem of transforming reality., Dunayevskaya is a unique thinker for the twentieth century. She combines an involvement in freedom struggles with a very dep commitment to philosophical ideas and exploration. . . For those who have never read Dunayevskaya, this volume provides an excellent introduction. For those who have read her work, this is a volume that presents her total thought as a process., As we enter a new millennium, critical and dialectical thinking is more important than ever in charting the vicissitudes of capital and political struggle. Raya Dunayevskaya's writings on Hegelian and Marxian dialectics are highly insightful and relevant to the theory and politics of the contemporary moment. Thus Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson's collection of some of her most important writings provide access to a valuable theoretical and political legacy., With the writings of Raya Dunayevskaya, the continent of revolutionary thought underwent a seismic shift, the world-historical reverberations of which we are still feeling today and which continue to grow stronger in this new millennium as the crisis of world capitalism intensifies. Dunayevskaya is one of the great revolutionary thinkers of the last century and her work on the dialectics of philosophy is unsurpassed in the development of Marxist humanism. Expertly edited by Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson, this volume is destined to become a classic. History bequeathes us few gifts, and it is up to the present generation of revolutionaries to take advantage of this opportunity to engage with Dunaveyskaya's most important ideas, condensed in this exceptional edited edition., The introduction by Peter Hudis and Kevin Anderson is a fine essay--so lucid and explicit yet sacrificing no complexity. It should be accessible to a range of people--students, or people recently stimulated to think about the nature of capitalism and the requirements of a different society, as well as longtime socialists who need the "placing" of Raya's thought as it's provided here., The Power of Negativity provides material for a unique exegetical experience. Overall, this collection offers a very unusual and stimulating reading of Hegel's philosophy that while on the one hand may appear out of date, on the other should encourage us to approach the problems of our contemporary world in a new light, namely, with a fresher look at Hegel., Dunayevskaya writes, particularly in the letters and talks, like a person "drunk" on Hegel. But rather than causing her to lose control, this drunkeness is a measure of her intellectual excitement, an infectious one that gets transferred to her readers. She is especially good in linking Hegel, Marx, and Lenin. Her varied attempts to explain the importance of Hegel's absolute idea and theory of negation for the traditions that followed, but also for the hoped-for revolution, are as clear and convincing as any I 've seen from her pen. It's a truly impressive display, and one that will delight as well as instruct most readers., Brilliant theorist, committed activist, and passionate scholar, Raya Dunayevskaya was a role-model for my generation. We are fortunate to have her back in this wonderfully edited work that conveys the excitement of a time when, for Raya and her interlocutors (C.L.R James and Herbert Marcuse among others), philosophy and the struggle against social injustice were two sides of the same urgent endeavor. Her understanding of dialectics as a method whereby each generation has to discover its own revolutionary task, her insistence that Marxism means humanism in the most inclusive sense and that socialism means the social actualization of individual freedom -- these are ideas that appear young and fresh against the weary and sophistic pessimism that dominates much theory in the academy today. And more: in contrast to the boring pap of commodified culture and political sound bites, Raya's interpretation makes the logic of Hegel's absolute idea a fascinating and compelling read., For those already acquainted with Raya Dunayevskaya through one or more of her works, it provides fascinating background on the development of her thought.

The item was sent as Paperback which should of been hardback. A part refund was issued ,if cost to send it back to the buyer was less to return item, I would of sent the item back fully. But due to cost, it was less effective. Communication was OK. The book as Paperback was in very good condition but like I say I payed more to get the hardback which was a disappointment. I thought the buyer could of sent a replacement of hardback book as I purchased higher price but that was not an optiongiven
