Gérard Duménil *Concept of Economic Law in Capital* / *Le concept de loi économique dans "Le Capital"*

Introduction

The theme of the research

Placing "the concept of economic law in Capital" at the center of one's research is obviously a large-scale task, which one would like to be able to approach progressively, element by element, before beginning a necessary effort of synthesis. However, if there are researches that can be divided up as the researcher wishes, to present their multiple facets in turn, we will agree that ours is not one of them. To deal with the concept of economic law is to evoke a certain number of themes that support each other, that are indispensable to each other. Confronted with the necessity of making a choice within such a wide-ranging subject, we had to face the impossibility of restricting the field of our research, which would take as its starting point the selection of a certain number of specific themes. Could we have dealt with one type of law, for example, in order to exclude a second type from our study? The attempts we made in this direction proved the contrary. It w

It's been a month and a half since I returned from the war in Ukraine, yes, I know that you can not say this word "war", it was banned, but still I will say "war", understand correctly, I am 33 years old and all my life I only tell the truth, even if to my detriment, here is such a "wrong" and can not do anything about it. So this is war, our Russian army shoots at the Ukrainian army, and the latter shoots back, shells and missiles explode there, have you ever heard the sound of a shell coming towards you? If not, that's a pity, it's an unforgettable feeling of vibration and whistling of air when all your insides turn over, just takes your breath away, then if you're lucky you hear an explosion and think it's definitely your day, of course if you realize you did not get hurt in the blast wave and your body did not take some shrapnel, but if not, then you had a bad day and this time you were not lucky, in short it's a hell of a job...

At the same military killed on both sides, as well as civilians who

Kant, Metaphysics of Morals, What is Money?

I Was ist Geld?

I. What is Money?

Geld ist eine Sache, deren Gebrauch nur dadurch möglich ist, daß man sie veräußert.

Money is a thing that can be used only by being alienated.

Dies ist eine gute Namenerklärung desselben (nach Achenwall), nämlich hinreichend zur Unterscheidung dieser Art Gegenstände der Willkür von allen andern; aber sie giebt uns keinen Aufschluß über die Möglichkeit einer solchen Sache.

Backhaus, "Zuvor: Die Anfänge der neuen Marx-Lektüre" to Dialektik der Wertform

Zuvor: Die Anfänge der neuen Marx-Lektüre

Trifft der Zusammenbruch des theoretischen und realen »MarxismusLeninismus« - d. h. der marxistischen Orthodoxie überhaupt - nicht auch die Grundprinzipien der Marxschen Theorie, so daß selbst in einer modernisierten Gestalt die Marx-Lektüre buchstäblich gegenstandslos geworden ist? Dies schien in der Tat der »dominierende Diskurs«;1 in scheinbar »betäubender Einstimmigkeit« wurde darauf gedrungen, daß Marx »tot sei, auch tot bleibe« und tot bleiben müsse. Doch solcherlei »Beschwörungen«2 fanden sich nahezu ausschließlich in der politischen Tagesliteratur, kaum in der wissenschaftlichen. Hier erfährt gerade in jüngster Zeit die Marxsche Theorie sogar von Autoren Zuspruch, die sich, wie Jacques Derrida, als »Nicht-Marxisten«1 begreifen. So insistiert auch Karl Otto Hondrich darauf, daß die Marxsche »Analyse selbstzerstörerischer Prozesse des Kapitalismus (...) durch die Selbstzerstörung des Staatssozialismus keineswegs widerlegt wurde«.4 Und Derrida konstatiert, daß d

Masks Could Help Stop Coronavirus. So Why Are They Still Controversial?

Confusing government advice at the start of the pandemic and cultural misgivings may have limited acceptance

Medical experts say even handmade or cheap surgical masks can block droplets emitted by speaking, coughing and sneezing, making it harder for the virus to spread.

# The Polemics About the Historicity of Jesus Christ in the Religious Studies of the Soviet Period
A. ANDREEV
*Abstract*
The article discusses the history of the controversy regarding the historicity of Jesus Christ in the academic literature of the Soviet period. It summarizes the position of the classics of Marxism-Leninism on the issue, which for many decades served for scientists as «starting point» in their studies. The article outlines the main work of Soviet religious scholars, historians and philologists, engaged in the research of the New Testament. It presents the basic arguments for and against a real earthly existence of Jesus Christ. It identifies the major milestones in the development of this issue throughout the Soviet period: the period from 20’s, which is characterized by the dominance of the ideas of the so-called «Mythological school» and tough anti-religious propaganda; the period from the late 50’s to early 80’s, when the mythological nature of Jesus was questioned; and the third peri
