Source of Byung-Chul Han's Philosophy of Time Theory

The concept of benign time is proposed by Byung-Chul Han in response to the diagnosis and criticism of time under the domination of digital capital, which is beneficial for human survival. It is based on Marx's view of time as the theoretical foundation of benign time. But this kind of fragrant and benign time does not come out of thin air. It is based on the previous interpretation of time and the diagnosis and criticism of real time. Marcel Proust's discourse on recalling time in his book In Search of Lost Time, Heidegger's interpretation of round-trip time, and Chinese incense's criticism and correction of the negative time in today's society dominated by digital capital provide different ideas and perspectives for his study of time philosophy.

Do Social Sciences Threaten the Autonomy of Ethics? Reconstructing the Marxian Metaethical Response

AbstractIn the present paper, I attempt to provide a reconstructed Marxian response to the question of whether the social (and behavioral) sciences constitute a philosophical threat to the autonomy of ethics. I suggest that shedding light on some aspects of the Marxian work (especially the Theses on Feuerbach), from the standpoint of the debate on naturalism in contemporary analytic philosophy, can offer valuable philosophical insights against the framework of scientific naturalism. This framework is responsible for presenting the social sciences as a philosophical threat to the autonomy of ethics. I argue that Marx detects and rejects three fundamental presuppositions of scientific naturalism: empiricism, ‘God’s point of view,’ and methodological individualism. I conclude that the Marxian view is a liberal naturalist perspective which allows both the scientific comprehension of the social world and the autonomy of ethics.

College, Knowledge, and Class

The author proposes a Marxian class analysis of undergraduate education in U.S. four-year residential colleges and universities, highlighting the role of student labor in the production of courses, degrees, and campus life (college) and in the production of academic learning (knowledge). Undergraduate students are theorized as direct producers within two overlapping class structures: academic feudalism (college) and academic communism (knowledge). The concept of academic communism is argued to be normatively compatible with Marxian and liberal visions of higher education: the Marxian commitment to abolish class exploitation and the liberal commitment to academic freedom. As a constructive response to intensifying criticisms of undergraduate education as we know it, a Marxian view of college and knowledge offers an ethically grounded defense of the core mission of U.S. higher education, centered on undergraduate students and faculty members as coproducers of academic knowledge.

Youthization of Marxism: Analyzing the Current Situation of Colleges and Universities in Guizhou

This study aims to analyze the current state of Marxist youthization (青年化) in colleges and universities in Guizhou Province. The primary objectives are to identify the factors influencing the dissemination of Marxist views among university students and to determine the most significant predictors of this process. The target population comprised university students in Guizhou Province during the 2023 academic year. A stratified random sampling technique was employed to ensure comprehensive representation, resulting in a sample size of 700 students. A cross-sectional correlational research design was utilized, with a structured questionnaire distributed to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis examined the impact of Marxist youth views' perception, identification, and practice on their dissemination. The findings reveal that all three factors—perception, identification, and practice—significantly influence the dissemination of Marxist views, with perception having the most substantial effect (B = 0.206, p < 0.001), followed closely by identification (B = 0.202, p < 0.001) and practice (B = 0.140, p < 0.001). The model explains 39.6% of the variance in dissemination, indicating robust explanatory power. These results highlight the importance of enhancing students' understanding, identification, and practical engagement with Marxist principles. The study suggests that educational strategies focusing on these areas can effectively promote Marxist ideologies among youth. The implications for educators and policymakers include adopting interactive and experiential learning methods to foster a deeper connection with Marxist views.

Comparative view of Sandel's Distributive Justice Theory

In Western political thought, distributive justice has always been an important issue. Utilitarianism, liberalism and communitarianism represent three different views of distributive justice, but they try to solve the same problem, the inequality of income and wealth. Utilitarianism aims at welfare maximization, liberalism takes respect for freedom as its starting point, and communitarianism, represented by Sandel and MacIntyre, advocates Aristotle's deserved theory with the aim of promoting virtue and taking unity as the banner against inequality. This paper takes Sandel's Liberalism and the Limits of Justice as the core of the study, captures the central proposition of distributive justice from the standpoint of communitarianism, introduces the Marxist distributive justice principles of Marx and Cohen, and compares and interprets the characteristics of Sandel's communitarian distributive justice theory from a perspective different from utilitarianism and liberalism. Finally, based on the principles of Marxist view of justice, this paper briefly expounds the theoretical value, limitation and practical possibility of Sandel's distributive justice theory and communitarian view.

Social Psychiatric Conceptions in Western and Eastern Germany - a Contrastive Analysis of the Approaches Developed by Karl Peter Kisker, Klaus Weise and Achim Thom

The study explores the common effort of social psychiatrists in Eastern and Western Germany to help people suffering from mental health issues to gain more self-determination and social participation and to make mental health care more humane from the 1960s onwards. At the same time, it provides a contrastive analysis of the social psychiatric concepts developed by the psychiatrists Karl Peter Kisker, Klaus Weise and the philosopher Achim Thom. A thorough analysis of literature reveals differences in the theoretical approaches in the East and West. Kisker, who was a representative of the West German social psychiatric movement, had a phenomenological-anthropological background. By contrast, Weise and Thom even though following the same subject orientation, established a socialist social psychiatry clearly integrating Marxist views into their concept. This contrastive also elaborates common viewpoints in understanding the social dimensions of mental health conditions in the two concepts.

With the acceleration of the process of globalization and the rapid development of industrialization, human society is facing serious environmental crises, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land desertification and other problems become increasingly prominent.

Time Background and Theoretical Pursuit: Comparison of Arendt's and Marx's views of labor

Marx's and Arendt's views of labor are rooted in different contexts. Marx's theory originated in the 19th century during the industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism in Europe, and by inheriting Hegel's dialectic, he developed a historical materialist approach, focusing on the elimination of exploitation under capitalism and the struggle for the emancipation of the working class. Arendt's view of labor was formed in the twentieth century during the crisis of modernity in the West, and, drawing from the European tradition of political philosophy, attempted to rebuild the community and reestablish the freedom of the individual through a call to political action. Although the two thinkers had different theoretical aims, together they demonstrated a deep reflection on human labor and social institutions.

Kritik Ekonomi Islam terhadap Ajaran Marxisme tentang Sistem Kepemilikan dalam Sosial Kemasyarakatan

The purpose of this article is to criticize Marxist teachings about the ownership system in social society. This research is a type of library research; namely, the data and study materials used come from library sources, in the form of books, journals, magazines, newspaper articles, papers and previous research results that support the writing theme. The form of this research is descriptive-comparative-analytic. The results showed that Islam provides criticism of Karl Marx's views on the abolition of private property. the elimination of private property as a source of alienation and exploitation is contrary to human nature. Every human being born is given the right and preference to own property. Therefore, it is very unfair when these rights and preferences are abolished. In the Islamic economic system, legal ownership in asset management is divided into three groups, namely private ownership, social ownership and state ownership.

Anarchism & Social Work​

Current progressive and radical approaches to social work tend to reflect Marxist views of social problems and their solution. A critique of classical and other non-autonomous Marxist views of authority and structure leads the reader to consider moving beyond hierarchies to considering anti-authoritarian perspectives for social work. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the history and theory of anarchist thought. I make it clear that I am not speaking from a position of expertise nor claim authority here but encourage further dialogue. This is explicitly articulated as this paper intends to inform and promote discussion and thought on an anarchist approach to social work.

The Historical Evolution and Enlightenment of Marx's View of Civil Society

In-depth study of young Marx's civil society theory has important academic and practical significance. In terms of academic theory, "civil society" is a red line that runs through the gradual formation of Marx's materialist view of history. Clarifying the development vein of young Marx's view of civil society and clarifying the connotation and characteristics of civil society is helpful to understand the focus of young Marx's philosophical research, so as to grasp the evolution of his ideological history more carefully. In reality, it is of great significance to construct the road of socialist modernization governance with Chinese characteristics to absorb and draw on the theoretical essence which accords with China's national conditions.

The 4+4 practical teaching model combines practice and scenarios , which is the main feature. Eff orts are made to cultivate students to become innovative and practical journalism talents with a strong sense of value identity, social responsibility and media mission.

The Nature of Labor’s Vulnerability to Exploitation

I identify a hitherto unrecognized contribution of labor to production stemming from an innate sense of psychological ownership of the fruits of one’s labor. This is rooted in the consciousness accompanying all human activities and is distinct from legal ownership. Consciousness is inalienable; it cannot be contracted on. Labor’s psychological ownership generates quasi-rents, which can be appropriated by capitalist firms with market power. Monopsony power, now empirically seen to be ubiquitous in labor markets, has more serious efficiency and equity consequences than recognized. In a neoclassical framework, I also show why labor is uniquely vulnerable to exploitation—reconciling it with Marxian views. If capitalist owners are taken to be unaware of their workers’ psychological ownership, this exploitation occurs even in competitive labor markets. JEL Classification: P12, J22, J3, J42, D41

Marxist view on the religious ecological culture: A review of the western studies in religion and environment and their discourses

The ecological crisis is related to religion that shapes the values, but its decisive factor is the inherent contradiction between the selfish logic of capital proliferation and the social public nature of the environment. The fundamental way to solve the ecological crisis is the domestic social reform, the coordination of international relations and the continuous development of science and technology. Guided by the social public agencies and scientific methods, religion can play a secondary constructive role in building the pro-ecological humanistic environment.Contribution: It is as I have known perhaps the initial attempt to deal with the question between religion and conservation from the perspective of Marxism, as a response to the colleagues from the West.
