Joe McCarney A Memorial Conference The tragic death of Joe McCarney is to be marked by a conference
in his memory on 25 October 2008 organised by the Marx and Philosophy
Society. Joe wrote three books: The Real World of Ideology (1980);
Social Theory and the Crisis of Marxism (1990), and Hegel on History
(2000). All three relate in various ways to the problem of grounding an
emancipatory project on an immanent historical dialectic rather than on a
normative critique of the present based on an abstract standard. Speakers: Kai Nielsen 'Emancipatory Social Science: McCarney and Levine' David MacGregor 'The Problem of Evil' John Clegg 'A Brief History of False Consciousness' Andrew Chitty: 'Can there be an Ethical Critique of capitalism?' Chris Arthur 'The Concept of Critique' There is no registration charge but space is limited, so please
book in advance by sending an email to arthurcj@waitrose.com. Directions and map: http://tinyurl.com/ywmsvc Tube stations: Holborn and Russell Square. The texts of Joe's first two books have been published on
his website at http://www.josephmccarney.com
to serve as a resource for the conference. |
