Marxism Against the Tide of Modernity: Uniting the Promethean and Romantic (PART II) With Donald Parkinson

Season 2 Episode 11 Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description

(PART II)
The birth pangs of the bourgeois epoch included a multi faceted opposition in the form of romanticism. This reaction lauded humanity's lost connection to the natural world, to spirituality, and to a forgotten sense of communal life. While it is easy to point out the romantic strain in rightist political ideologies, we often overlook the one that has existed in Marxism since the beginning.
