Jonathan Ree Waiter Benjamin Centenary Of all the figures of the intellectual left in the febrile German culture of the 1930s, Walter Benjamin is perhaps the one now most closely associated with the pathos of the times. From his almost total obscurity prior to the publication of Adorno’ s twovolume edition of his writings in 1955, Benjamin has emerged as the most celebrated...

Marxist Modes

...arxism was brought round to the recognition that social for.mations have three eternally preformed ‘levels’ the political, the economic, and the ideological – all interacting in easy-going reciprocity. There ensued a period when Marxism relished this new-found freedo.m, cheerfully reciting the discovery that its ‘levels’ were ‘relatively autonomous’, though still obsessively harping on the idea that the economic was ‘deter.mining in the last insta...

Wishful theory and sexual politics

...Thus Satan, and Eve too, who after all desires the apple not from any old tree, but rather the tree of knowledge, which is of course the one forbidden her. Mythologically, that desire, death and knowledge were all born in the first transgression. In the creation of the modern pervert this connection of perversion with dissident knowledge was largely but not entirely eradicated. It is recoverable in the paradox that desire, and perverse desire most...

On Revolutionising the Darwin Industry: A Centennial Retrospect

No one today can argue that the Darwin industry has its own inherent momentum or develo...

Poor Bertie

...in logic. So with Ogdenʼs help, he was going to launch himself on a new career, earning his living as a freelance political commentator rather than a mathematician and fellow of a Cambridge college. He had dabbled in politics before of course; indeed he had been brought up political, in the home of the great Victorian reforming prime minister, Lord John Russell, who was his grandfather. And in 1896, when he was 24, he had published a book about r...

...dual and nationalization based on the conglomerated nation. If we want to free ourselves from this prejudice, and broaden our bourgeois liberal experience a little, then we could do worse than read Marx on the manifold variousness of the forms of property and belonging that have been potentialized and actualized in the course of history. We might even find ourselves nodding in belated recognition at Marxʼs prescient descriptions of nationalization...

Feminism and Images of Autonomy

...esence, it needs to reconstruct its one-sidedly negative understanding of freedom as a freedom from the oppressive familial ties which mark a subordinated femininity. Contemporary feminism has now the opportunity and the task of developing an image of the emancipated life which stri ves to marry or mediate freedom and dependence as two reconcilable needs. I am not, therefore, advocating the road taken by the later Friedan in The Second Stage and G...

Language, truth and politics: A conception of philosophy

...existing multitude of legal, quasi-legal, and conventional impediments to free speech, the assumption based on legal freedom is clearly unrealistic, especially in the age of the mass media. Vf1at is required is that everyone with something to say can actually say it, effectively as well as without fear, and this means that the media of communication must be open and available and not only that a vast number of sanctions must be got rid of.

The Letter was ·very pessimistic, and so is Jonathan Ree’s commentary. In those far off days of the fifties, he says, the socialist intellectuals gave their allegiance to the British Labour movement, though they might criticize it, but he suggests...

An Editor Speaks

...er to indicate that this Editorial’s views are not universally shared. But Jonathan Ree’s text does not consist only of memories and reflections: it is also a fairly forceful attempt to redirect the magazine’s policy along certain lines which it sees as desirable. So some discussion seems in order about what these recommendations mean and what arguments are put forward in their favour. For me this is none too easy, since for much of the ti me I fi...

That idea fits in with little difficulty to the ʻbeehiveʼ model of Bellamyʼs Looking Backward.
