Science and worldviews in the marxist tradition
Science & Education, 2008Co-Authors: C. D. SkordoulisAbstract:This paper is about the relationship between Marxism, Science and Worldviews. In Section I, the paper gives a descriptive definition of the scientific viewpoint based on a materialist ontology, a realist epistemology, and the recognition that science is a social activity. The paper shows in Section II that there are currents in contemporary Marxism which relate favourably to science. In Section III, the paper examines Marx's encounter with Natural Philosophy and Materialism by analysing the influence of Epicurus on Marx. Section IV examines Marx's positive attitude towards natural science. Section V discusses the relation between science and ideology and proposes a scheme to defend the thesis that science establishes a conceptual autonomy from the forms of social consciousness existing in the social formation. Finally Section VI examines the historical infusion of Marxism into the Western scientific community in the 1930s, and the positions adopted by Marxists when they have considered science education.

Shakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory
2017Co-Authors: Christopher MarlowAbstract:Combining close attention to Shakespearean texts and the conditions of their production with an explicit left-wing political affiliation, cultural Materialism offers readers a radical avenue through which to engage with Shakespeare and his world. Shakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory charts the inception and development of this theory, setting out its central tenets and analysing the work of key thinkers such as Alan Sinfield, Jonathan Dollimore, Raymond Williams and Ania Loomba.

Dr Christopher Marlow: 'systems of control?: Shakespeare, cultural Materialism and agency'
2017Co-Authors: Christopher Marlow, Andrew RowcroftAbstract:In this paper I address a recent debate about the role of human agency in cultural Materialism. Cultural materialists, above all else, analyse texts from a materialist rather than an idealist perspective, and over the last thirty years this has proven transformative for Shakespeare studies. Unfortunately the approach has also been regularly misunderstood, and in looking at why that might have been the case I want to draw out some aspects of what the approach has inherited from Marxism. I argue that cultural Materialism is far more sceptical about the so-called ‘systems of control’ associated with thinkers such as Althusser and Foucault than has often been thought.

Cultural Materialism in Lorca’s Poetry
Budapest International Research and Critics Institute (BIRCI-Journal): Humanities and Social Sciences, 2020Co-Authors: Mahnaz Soqandi, Fatemeh Sadat BasirizadehAbstract:The aim of the present research is to investigate Lorca’s poem from cultural materialist point of view. To do so, the researcher investigates how culture and social mechanism function in the context in which the poems have been written. Cultural Materialism attempts to investigate different aspects of society, art, economy, language, and politics from an external point of view and analyze them to find out how identity and self are shaped accordingly. Cultural Materialism is demonstrated in different categories including gender, ethnic studies, postmodernism, postcolonialism, and other fields. Cultural Materialism highlights the relation between a work of art and the ideological system in which it has been created. In other words, cultural, social, religious and several other factors must be accounted for while interpreting a work of art. Consequently, how cultural dogma functions within fine arts in order to produce the internal textures is uncovered through cultural Materialism. In Lorca’s poems, the contents have symbolic and metaphoric mechanisms which can be interpreted through material analysis.

Science, philosophy, and politics in the work of J. B. S. Haldane, 1922–1937
Biology and Philosophy, 1992Co-Authors: Sahotra SarkarAbstract:This paper analyzes the interaction between science, philosophy and politics (including ideology) in the early work of J. B. S. Haldane (from 1922 to 1937). This period is particularly important, not only because it is the period of Haldane's most significant biological work (both in biochemistry and genetics), but also because it is during this period that his philosophical and political views underwent their most significant transformation. His philosophical stance first changed from a radical organicism to a position far more compatible with mechanical Materialism. The primary intellectual influence that was responsible for this shift was that of F. G. Hopkins. Later, Haldane came to accept Marxism and its official metaphysics, dialectical Materialism, a move that let him accept the materialist conception of the world while still maintaining a resolute distance from mechanism. Throughout all these changes, what is most obvious is the influence of science on Haldane's philosophical views. An influence in the opposite direction is far less apparent.
