Karl Kautsky, 1854-1938


Book Description

The first major study of Karl Kautsky, considered the most influential Marxian theoretician in the world, from 1895 to 1914. Outside of Friedrich Engels, Kautsky did more to popularize Marism than any other person. An entire generation of Marxists, including Lenin and Trotsky, learned the doctrine in large part from Kautsky.




100 ans, 100 socialistes


Book Description

Avril 1905 voit l'unité de toutes les familles socialistes, avec la naissance de la SFIO, Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière. A quoi peut ressembler un mouvement politique sans les hommes et les femmes qui le composent ? Ce dictionnaire a pour objet de rappeler au souvenir, parfois même de sortir de l'oubli, cent acteurs du socialisme qui ont marqué de leur empreinte le siècle écoulé, participant chacun à leur place aux luttes et aux combats pour le respect des droits de l'Homme, la conquête des droits politiques et sociaux, la liberté et la justice. A côté des incontournables, on trouve aussi des disciples plus modestes, des pionniers, des intellectuels, des propagandistes plus obscurs, des activistes, des tribuns, des élus et des gestionnaires, des majoritaires par nature et des éternels minoritaires. Dépeints sur un ton libre et parfois vif, ils sont montrés avec leurs forces, leurs convictions, mais aussi leurs doutes et leurs faiblesses. Un dictionnaire du socialisme " à l'échelle humaine " rehaussé par une iconographie exceptionnelle.

Beyond Marxism: The Faith and Works of Hendrik de Man


Book Description

To recall all those who have contributed to the genesis of the present work involves pleasant reminiscence. The grey skies of Belgium come to mind with the acknowledgment that without the aid of two United States Government (Fulbright) Grants the study would have been stillborn. Both Dorothy Deflandre, Executive Officer of the U.S. Educational Foundation in Belgium, and Henri Janne, then Director of the Institut de Sociologie Solvay, used their official powers to facilitate the process of research. Another scene, equally impressed upon the memory - the placid setting of Amsterdam's Keizersgracht - arises with therecollectionofthe courtesy of the Internationaal Instituut voor Soci ale Geschiedenis, whose director, the late A.J.C. Rüter, kindly granted me access to the de Man archives. I take pleasure also in acknowledging financial support from the Research Foundation of the State University of New York, whereby I could investigate further materials later made available at the Archives Generales du Royaume in Brussels.
