Nouvelle Histoire de la philosophie, livre de Costanzo Preve | Cercle Aristote

"Fruit de plus de trente ans de recherches, la Nouvelle histoire alternative de la philosophie constitue le testament philosophique de Costanzo Preve. Sa réflexion sur l’effondrement du communisme dans les années 1980 s’est élargie après 1991 à l’histoire de la théorie marxiste, dont il a tâché d’élucider le rapport à la tradition philosophique européenne, puis s’est étendue à l’ensemble de cette tradition. Par un rapprochement de l’homme comme être générique selon Hegel et Marx avec l’homme zoon logon echon (doté de langage et de raison) selon Aristote, il est parvenu à dépasser l’explication matérialiste historique selon Marx et l’ontologie de l’être social selon Lukacs, et à les élever au rang d’une théorie de la vérité philosophique comme totalité conceptuelle de l’expérience humaine, examinée tant sous l’aspect de sa genèse historique que sous l’aspect de sa validité transhistorique. Tel est selon Preve le caractère véritatif de la philosophie, née de l’exigence de la survie communautaire, et qu’il oppose, par une critique récurrente, aux bavardages du relativisme et de la pensée faible postmodernes. Lire cette histoire du chemin ontologico-social de la philosophie, c’est donc s’embarquer dans le roman de toute la culture occidentale, en des temps où se pose la question de sa survie même, menacée par ses propres démons."

Col blancs et IA générative : entre promesses d’augmentation et risques de substitution – FredCavazza.net

"L’essor de l’IA générative bouleverse en profondeur notre rapport au travail intellectuel, sans pour autant tenir toutes ses promesses. Il y a ainsi un décalage manifeste entre la puissance des modèles génératifs et leur impact réel sur la productivité des cols blancs. De plus, face à l’accélération technologique, les entreprises hésitent, les collaborateurs s’interrogent, et les nouveaux usages peinent à être adoptés. Pourtant, une chose est sûre : cette transition est inévitable. Encore faut-il savoir comment l’orchestrer pour créer de la valeur, et non des fractures durables. L’objectif étant de définir une nouvelle complémentarité entre ressources biologiques et numériques pour que les entreprises comme les salariés y trouvent leur compte."

  • Deux ans et demi après le raz-de-marée ChatGPT, force est de constater que la révolution annoncée se fait attendre. Les cadres et assimilés continuent de crouler sous les emails, ils passent perdent toujours plus de temps en réunion, et les fameux gains de productivité promis par l’IA générative sont beaucoup plus théoriques que factuels.

CrimethInc. : Zines : Mutual Aid, the Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of Capitalism : Revisiting the Difference Between Mutual Aid and Charity

"Much has been made of the distinction between charity and mutual aid. Charity is top-down and unidirectional, while mutual aid is supposed to be horizontal, reciprocal, and participatory. In practice, however, the majority of today’s self-described mutual aid projects remain more or less unidirectional efforts to provide goods and services to those in need.

This has contributed to a situation in which conventional non-profit organizations are rebranding themselves with the language of “mutual aid,” while some anarchists have given up on the concept entirely, fed up with a rhetoric that some say amounts to “mutual aid being good and radical, and charity being bad and conservative.”

Is there more to the distinction than this? How could we unlock the revolutionary potential of mutual aid?

Towards a Conservative Left: Selected Writings of Jean-Claude Michéa: Jean-Claude Michéa, Michael C. Behrent: 9798988739982: Amazon.com: Books

"Towards a Conservative Left offers the first comprehensive English-language introduction to the thought of Jean-Claude Michéa. Over the past three decades, Michéa has staked out a place for himself as France's foremost "left populist." A fierce critic of the illusions of progress and champion of the "common decency" that should (but no longer does) inform left politics, Michéa shows how the left's focus on cultural liberalism has become a crucial element in today's neoliberal economic order. At a time when the old divisions between "left" and "right" have never seemed less self-evident, Michéa invites us all to rethink our positions and imagine politics afresh.

The book opens with an introduction by its editor, the intellectual historian Michael C. Behrent, who situates the development of Michéa's thought in the context of contemporary French political life and shows how its guiding preoccupations, far from being limited to that context, speak directly to our own political moment.

The Surprising Coherence of the Pro-Life Left | Compact

"Currently, there are no Democratic senators at the national level who are even marginally pro-life—and only one Democrat in the house, Henry Cuellar. What does a pro-life left look like, given the almost total exclusion of anti-abortion views from the Democratic Party and the progressive movement?  

Many on the left assume that anti-abortion activists seek to protect the unborn without consideration for the post-birth life or pre-natal care of the child, or for the pregnant mother’s health. Because of this, pro-life views are regarded as fundamentally incompatible with advocating for the rights of women. In short, the left asks: Why should women—particularly a poor mother—be compelled to have a child birthed into economic precarity without adequate social services to help sustain that mother and child’s life if needed? 

The pro-life left offers a genuine response to that question."
