SUMMARY:Historical-Materialist Psychology: Vygotsky's Contribution
DESCRIPTION:Carl Ratner presents a new edition of this six-week series\, in which we seek to solve the riddle Marx posed in his first thesis on Feuerbach: “in contradistinction to materialism\, the active side [the subjective side of human behavior] was developed abstractly by idealism – which\, of course\, does not know real\, sensuous activity as such.” Exploring a materialist theory of subjectivity which does know sensuous activity\, we will see how historical materialism can be extended to reveal how it is compatible with psychology and how human psychology is itself a historical-materialist phenomenon. \nThe most sophisticated approach to historical-materialist psychology was developed by the Russian psychologist\, Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934)\, who formulated a “cultural-historical psychological theory.” This was a comprehensive psychological theory that encompassed child development\, adolescence\, cognition\, perception\, personality/self. Read more… \nCarl Ratner went through college and graduate school in the 1960s. He was a professor of social psychology in the California State University system for 31 years. He adopted Vygotsky’s work when it was first translated in the 1980s\, writing extensively on Vygotsky and authoring the Preface to vol. 5 of his Collected Works. Ratner was one of the few followers of Vygotsky who emphasized his Marxist orientation and developed it. Ratner is the author of Macro Cultural Psychology: A Political Philosophy of Mind (Oxford\, 2012); his most recent book is Cultural Psychology\, Racism\, and Social Justice (Springer\, 2022). Carl has been active in the cooperative movement and served on the board of directors of California’s largest food coop in the 1970s and 80s. He lived in China from 1981-1983 and taught the first course on social psychology in Peking University since it had been banned after the Revolution.

SUMMARY:Adam Smith and ‘The Wealth of Nations’
DESCRIPTION:Join Russell Dale to read and discuss the works of Adam Smith in this ongoing study group. At present the group is reading Book 4 of Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. Smith’s notion of capital was important to Marx in the development of Marx’s understanding of capital\, and Marx frequently quoted from Smith in his discussions in Capital and other writings.\n \nWe are reading the Oxford University Press edition of the work – the full title is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1976; General editors: R. H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner; textual editor: W. B. Todd). The book has been republished by The Liberty Fund and made widely available in a two-volume photographic reproduction edition. \nRussell Dale taught philosophy at Lehman College\, CUNY\, for many years but is now retired. He has been a collaborator of the Marxist Education Project since its inception. He is on the Editorial Board of the Marxist journal Science & Society.

SUMMARY:Hegel for Radicals: The Philosophy of Right
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals continues this Spring with a ten-session seminar on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right.  This work is a treatise on the meaning of freedom and the kind of institutions that are required for its realization.  We will debunk previous myths that Hegel was a reactionary spokesman of the Prussian monarchy and show the truly radical view that Hegel championed under difficult conditions of censorship and political persecution\, much like those of our own time. This study of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right is inspired by the insight of Andy Blunden\, in his recent book\, The Capital-Logic Debate\, that the key to understanding Marx’s dialectical method in his investigation of Capital lies in understanding the method Hegel employed in the Philosophy of Right. \nFor the main text the preferred version is Outlines of the Philosophy of Right\, edited by Stephen Houlgate (Oxford University Press\, 2008). Also acceptable is Elements of the Philosophy of Right\, edited by Allen W. Wood (Cambridge University Press\, 1991). \nPrevious classes in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit and/or the Science of Logic will be helpful but are not a requirement for these sessions. Each participant will be expected to make at least one presentation during the ten-week seminar. Familiarity with this work greatly aids any reading of Marx’s Capital. Alex Steinberg will guide participants past the legendary obstacles to understanding this supremely concrete application of Hegel’s dialectical method. \nAlex Steinberg is the facilitator of Hegel for Radicals. He is an independent scholar who has taught and published on topics such as the philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and humanism\, Hegel’s philosophy of history and Hegel’s Phenomenology at various alternative educational institutions. Alex has also been involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2020-2021.

SUMMARY:Marx's Capital\, Vol. II - On the Circulation of Capital
DESCRIPTION:In Volume I of Capital\, Marx analyzes the processes of capitalist production and accumulation and identifies the real sources of wealth: nature and the labor performed by working people. In Volume II\, The Process of Circulation of Capital\, he addresses the next big question: How can the reproduction of society as a whole take place\, if there is no conscious social planning that ensures that all needs are met\, in the necessary proportions\, such that life can persist and the capitalist relations of production be sustained? In this study group\, we will discover some answers\, but we will also learn of new contradictions and sources of crisis inherent to capitalist society. Marx ‘s analysis in Volume II lays the groundwork for his system-wide summation in Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. \nWe welcome all who have a basic knowledge of Volume I of Capital to this study group. Participants read selections on their own each week and meet for clarifying discussions\, guided by experienced students of Marx from the MEP. For certain key and/or difficult sections\, we do line-by-line readings in class. \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Fred has led several Capital study groups and numerous others on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research.

SUMMARY:Marxist Psychology: Vygotsky’s Cultural-Historical Theory
DESCRIPTION:A six-week workshop with Carl Ratner\, in which we will seek to solve the riddle Marx posed in his first thesis on Feuerbach: “in contradistinction to materialism\, the active side [the subjective side of human behavior] was developed abstractly by idealism – which\, of course\, does not know real\, sensuous activity as such.” Exploring a materialist theory of subjectivity which does know sensuous activity\, we will see how historical materialism can be extended to reveal how it is compatible with psychology and how human psychology is itself a historical-materialist phenomenon. \nBridging political economy and psychology\, we will review Marx’s writings on the structure of social systems that encompass cultural emergents such as religion. As emphasized by Wendy Brown in her Foreword to the Reitter-North translation of Capital\, “Marx developed an understanding of political economy as the distinctive mode through which we build entire worlds through our singular cooperative powers—transforming nature\, elaborating divisions of labor and organizations of ownership\, producing wealth\, creating ways of life\, institutions\, social forms\, subjects\, and subjectivities… Capital brings into being not only particular kinds of markets\, technologies\, and industries\, but classes\, families\, and political structures; race and gender orders; relations with ‘nature’; new formations of space and time; and legal codes and conflicts.” \nTurning to the field of cultural psychology\, we will explore how cultural forms stimulate and organize human psychology. Here we will focus on the work of the Russian psychologist\, Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934)\, who formulated a “cultural-historical psychological theory.” Vygotsky was a dedicated Marxist who was active in efforts during the revolutionary period to develop socialist cultural institutions and social sciences. Vygotsky said\, “We must learn from Marx’s whole method how to build a science\, how to approach the investigation of the mind.” Read more… \nCarl Ratner went through college and graduate school in the 1960s. He was a professor of social psychology in the California State University system for 31 years.

SUMMARY:Hegel\, Marx\, and Capital
DESCRIPTION:A video of this December 17\, 2025 event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nAndy Blunden presents insights from two new books on Marx’s use of Hegel’s Logic in the writing of Capital. The Capital/Logic Debate offers a critique of the discourse around the relation between the two thinkers. Previous writers have looked for homologies between the Logic and Capital\, despite the fact that the Logic has no definite content\, while any positive science\, political economy included\, does have definite content originating from some problem or phenomenon with its own logic. In Marx’s Capital: Hegelian Sources\, Blunden explores the three-layered structure of Capital\, where each layer has a basis in Hegel. The distinct ethical strata of Capital – bourgeois society\, productive capitalism\, and finance capital –  parallel Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. Marx applies a Hegelian syllogism in which the immediate production of capital (volume 1) and the circulation of capital (volume 2) combine to yield capitalist production as a whole (volume 3). These two synthetic processes are built on 15 “units” – unique products of analysis\, as detailed in the penultimate chapter of Hegel’s Logic\, “The Idea of Cognition.” \nAndy Blunden has long been active on the Left as an activist and educator. Since the early 2000s he has been Secretary of the Marxists Internet Archive (marxists.org). Andy has presented courses on Activity Theory\, Marx and Hegel at summer schools at Melbourne University. currently retired from waged work\, he has worked as a teacher\, a technician\, or an engineer\, and has been an active trade unionist throughout. Among his other books are Hegel for Social Movements; Hegel\, Marx\, and Vygotsky; and Concepts: A Critical Approach. All are available from Haymarket Books.

SUMMARY:Hegel's Preface to the 'Phenomenology'
DESCRIPTION:(ends on December 13) \nThis eight-session course with Alex Steinberg concludes our ongoing studies of Hegel’s mysterious work\, The Phenomenology of Spirit. We will do a close reading of the Preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit\, a work that can be read on its own and is considered the most succinct and comprehensive statement of Hegel’s philosophy. \nThese sessions introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. No prior experience with Hegel or attendance at previous classes is expected or required. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. \nThere are 3 acceptable translations of the Phenomenology of Spirit available:\nOne by A.V. Miller published by Oxford University Press\, another by Terry Pinkard from Cambridge University Press\, and another translation that includes only the Preface\, by Yirmiyahu Yovel from Princeton University Press with a detailed commentary. \nAlex Steinberg is an independent scholar. He has taught on topics such as the Philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and Humanism\, and Hegel’s Philosophy of History at various alternative educational institutions and informally. He was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. Alex has been also involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2019-2021.

SUMMARY:Reading Marx's Capital\, Volume III
DESCRIPTION:Volume III of Capital – The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole – integrates and completes Marx’s analysis\, enabling us to understand and make sense of how the phenomena we see occurring on the surface of society are related to the underlying system of capitalism. It is essential to understanding the current moment of late capitalist/imperialist development\, in which we see the rise of rentier and finance capital and the commodification of debt; continuously rising prices that bring still more poverty and starvation; new technologies turned into means of extracting rents; the privatization of public spaces\, properties and institutions; and the list goes on. \nParticipants in this long-running study group have been closely reading and discussing Volume III\, using a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we do a line-by-line reading with pauses for questions and commentary. Participants read other sections on their own\, along with occasional supplemental materials such as passages from Beverley Best’s highly praised companion to Volume III\, The Automatic Fetish. The series is nearing completion with study of Part Six on Ground-Rent.\nRegistration is now closed\, but please email info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com if you are interested in further Capital studies. \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Since 2015 Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research and reported from Latin America for several socialist publications.

SUMMARY:Hegel for Radicals: The Phenomenology of Spirit
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s recurring Hegel for Radicals series introduces what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. Over 16 Saturdays\, beginning March 8\, we will read and discuss one of the most influential books of all time\, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. This massive retelling of humanity defies traditional divisions between history\, philosophy\, comedy\, and tragedy. As participants in Hegel’s Bacchanalian Revel we will step through such themes as \n\nThe Inverted World\nThe Dialectic of Master and Slave\nThe Cynical Bohemian\nThe Beautiful Soul\nFreedom and Terror\nSpirit Externalized as Nature and History\nThe Absolute\n\nThis journey provides a foundation for Hegel’s dialectic\, which is in turn a key to Marx’s Capital. \nWe recommend the translation by A.V. Miller of the Phenomenology of Spirit\, published by Oxford University Press and readily available as an inexpensive paperback. \nAlex Steinberg is an independent scholar and lifelong socialist who has taught classes in Marxist philosophy\, Hegel\, the dialectics of nature\, Heidegger\, and Nietzsche at the New Space for Pluralistic Anti-Capitalist Education\, The Brecht Forum\, the Marxist Education Project\, and other venues. Alex was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. In addition to his scholarly activities Alex has been involved with the governance of WBAI radio\, most recently as Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2019 – 2021. \nRegistration for this study group is now closed.

SUMMARY:Aristotle\, Hegel\, Marx: A Philosophical Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:A video of this June 29\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nJoin us for a dialogue on philosophical themes featuring two authors of forthcoming books from Stanford University Press. Michael Lazarus is the author of Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle\, Hegel and Marx\, and Jensen Suther is the author of True Materialism: Hegelian Marxism and the Modernist Struggle for Freedom.  Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry\, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. His book traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx’s work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre\, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately\, the book claims that Marx’s value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. In True Materialism\, Suther engages with three titans of literary modernism—Franz Kafka\, Thomas Mann\, and Samuel Beckett—to pursue not only an account of Hegel’s materialism but also a new critique of capitalist modernity. Breaking with the received view of Marx’s relation to German Idealism\, the book argues that the materialist critique of capitalist production is inseparable from Hegel’s idea that the demand for freedom is a demand for mutual recognition. \nMichael Lazarus is a postdoctoral research fellow at Deakin University. \nJensen Suther received his PhD from Yale University and is currently a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows.

SUMMARY:Hegel’s 'Science of Logic' - An Epilogue and a Prologue
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals introduces what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. We are reading the Introduction and Preliminary Concepts from Hegel’s Encyclopedia Logic\, sometimes called “The Shorter Logic.” The material we are discussing can stand alone as an Introduction to Hegel’s magnum opus\, The Science of Logic. But for those who have already studied the Science of Logic with us this can serve as completion of the Circle of the dialectic. \nWe are reading from:\nG. W. F. Hegel\, The Encyclopaedia Logic\, also known as Part I of the Encyclopaedia of Philosophical Sciences\, translation by T. F. Geraets\, W. A. Suchting\, and H. S. Harris. Hackett Publishing Company\, 1991. \nAlex Steinberg is an independent scholar and lifelong socialist who has taught classes in Marxist philosophy\, Hegel\, the dialectics of nature\, Heidegger\, and Nietzsche at the New Space for Pluralistic Anti-Capitalist Education\, The Brecht Forum\, the Marxist Education Project\, and other venues. Alex was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. In addition to his scholarly activities Alex has been involved with the governance of WBAI radio\, most recently as Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2019 – 2021. \nMatthew Strauss is an independent scholar and a revolutionary communist. He is affiliated with the Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists (CORS) of Columbus\, Ohio\, and was a member for eleven years of the International Socialist Organization until its dissolution. \nRegistration for this group is now closed.

SUMMARY:The Circulation of Capital: Volume II of Marx's Capital
DESCRIPTION:In Volume I of Capital\, Marx analyzes the processes of capitalist production and accumulation and identifies the real sources of wealth: nature and the labor performed by working people. In Volume II\, The Process of Circulation of Capital\, he addresses the next big question: How can the reproduction of society as a whole take place\, if there is no conscious social planning that ensures that all needs are met\, in the necessary proportions\, such that life can persist and the capitalist relations of production be sustained? We discover the answer\, but we also learn of new contradictions and sources of crisis inherent to capitalist society. Marx thereby lays the groundwork for the system-wide analyses in Volume III\, The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. \nWe welcome all who have a basic knowledge of Volume I of Capital to this ongoing weekly study group. Participants are closely reading and discussing Volume II\, guided by Fred Murphy and other experienced students of Marx from the MEP. We use a hybrid approach to cover the entire book. For key chapters or sections\, we do a line-by-line reading with commentary and occasional supplemental materials. Participants read other sections on their own\, and we summarize and discuss when we meet. The series is ongoing until we have read the entire book. At present we are reading Part Three\, “The Reproduction and Circulation of the Total Social Capital.” \nFred Murphy facilitates this group. Fred has led numerous study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nRSVP below to join the group in progress. There is no registration fee but a suggested donation of $50 or whatever amount you can afford will help support the work of the MEP.

SUMMARY:Hegel for Radicals: The Science of Logic III
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals continues this summer with a reading of the third and final part of Hegel’s magnum opus\, The Science of Logic. This is the discussion of the Notion culminating in the Absolute Idea. There will be a review session for recurring students as well as those who missed Part I\, Being\, and Part II\, Essence. Familiarity with this work greatly aids any reading of Marx’s Capital. \nAlex Steinberg will guide participants past the legendary obstacles to understanding this unsurpassed presentation of dialectics. Its depth and systematic structure is without parallel in any other of Hegel’s works. \nEight weekly sessions will introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. No prior experience with Hegel or attendance at previous classes is expected or required. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. \nAlex Steinberg is the facilitator of Hegel for Radicals. He is an independent scholar who has taught and published on topics such as the philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and humanism\, Hegel’s philosophy of history and Hegel’s Phenomenology at various alternative educational institutions. Alex was a Conference Presenter at the First International Conference on Trotsky in Havana\, Cuba. He has been also involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2020-2021.
