Freedom and the State: Hegel’s Political Philosophy (Ft. Cadell Last)

In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Cadell Last, philosopher and founder of PhilosophyPortal to discuss Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's political philosophy and his famous text on The Philosophy of Right titled “Elements of the Philosophy of Right.” We focus on Hegel’s controversial theory of Freedom, the State, and how it can help us navigate the contemporary political landscape and challenge us to reexamine some of our basic political prejudices. I ask Cadell critical questions regarding Hegel's rather "statist" philosophy.

James Vaughn is a Marxist historian and professor at the University of Chicago. We discuss the history of the American Revolution and what people on the left tend to get wrong about it. James explains how the "progressive" narrative of the American Revolution differs from the classical Marxist position on the American Revolution and the history of bourgeois revolutions in general. In the previous episode, I asked asked James questions regarding the role of slavery in the American Revolution and in this episode, we focus more on the question of genocide and the racism of the American Founding Fathers. The totality of the American project and its contradictions are important to analyze for leftists, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The American Revolution: The Marxist Position (Part 1)
Get access to Part 2 and exclusive episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime
In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by James Vaughn, a Marxist historian at the University of Chicago, to discuss the history of the American Revolution and what people on the left tend to get wrong about it. James explains how the "progressive" narrative of the American Revolution differs from the classical Marxist position on the American Revolution and the history of bourgeois revolutions in general. We will see how the ways in which Marx, Engels, Lenin, Kautsky, and Rosa Luxembourg viewed the American Revolution were radically different from the ways in which the contemporary left (both in Academia and in the activist world) viewed the American Revolution.

Get access to Part 2 (the backroom) and other exclusive episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime
In this episode of the 1Dime Radio Podcast, I am joined by Elijah Emery to provide a short guide to the thought of Christopher Lasch, a theorist most known for books such as "The Culture of Narcissism", "The Minimal Self", and "Revolt of the Elites." We also discuss his other works, such as "Haven and Heartless World" , "True and Only Heaven: Progress and its Critics", The New Radicalism in America,
and Agony of the American Left. Elijah and I go over some of the main themes of Lasch's work such as his critiques of the New Left, the old left, the 1960s, individualism, progressivism, and capitalist education., as well as his "Freudo-Marxist" inspired theories of primary and secondary narcissism, the decline of the family, individualism.
In the backroom (part 2 of the podcast) on Patreon, we discuss the controversies surrounding Christopher Lasch's later views on Religion, the Family, Populism, and the looming question as to whether he became a conservative towards the end of his life.

The Philosophy of Herbert Marcuse (Ft. Andrew Feenberg)
Support 1Dime on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime
In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Professor Andrew Feenberg, a former student of Herbert Marcuse and an American philosopher of technology and continental philosophy at Simon Fraser University. He is the author of numerous books, such as “The Philosophy Of Praxis: Marx, Lukács And The Frankfurt School” and most recently: “The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing: Nature and Revolution in Marcuse's Philosophy of Praxis.”
In this podcast, we will be diving deep into the complexities of Herbert Marcuse, his philosophy, politics, his relation to the New Left, and the most misunderstood aspects of thought. This includes his relation to his biggest theoretical influences, namley Marx, Hegel, Freud, and Heidegger. Here, we will be getting into some of the more difficult aspects of Marcuse’s philosophy. But we will start slowly, and it will be worth it.
This podcast aims to complement the recent 1Dime video on the thought of Herbert Marcuse and his book One-Dimensional Man on the 1Dime channel.
