Marxist Winter School 2022 #3: What Is Truth And Is It Possible To Know It?

Update: 2022-03-30

Description

Philosophy is crucial for political struggle, because philosophy is our method of understanding the world. In this presentation from the Montreal Marxist Winter School 2022, marxist.com editor, Hamid Alizadeh defends Marxism against fashionable postmodern philosophy. He shows how the philosophical approach of denying the objectivity of the world, which is increasingly popular among scholars in both the natural and social sciences, is tantamount to denying the possibility of understanding the world and thus transforming it. The ultimate effect of this worldview is to defend the status quo.
