  • Rules And Laws
    433 words
    Michael Foucault writing in Right of Death and Power Over Life is one of the most confusing and difficult pieces of literature I have ever read.

However if the...

  • Tokugawa Sh O Gun
    2,054 words
    What Accounts for the Stability of the Tokugawa Regime? In the first half of the Seventeenth century, the regime perfected by Ieyasu Tokugawa and his successors was based on the accepted system of dai my^o domains which Nobunaga and Hideyoshi had been developing prior to Ieyasu's rule. It was thus basically feudal in structure, but it represented a highly organised and stable stage of feudalism, unlike Europe ever experienced. The reasons for the stability of such a regime are quite numerous, an...

    5,534 words
    Having declared in the opening sentence of the Manifesto that all history is the history of class struggles, Marx adds immediately in a footnote "of written history". For prior to the invention of writing, societies were nomadic, organized in tribes, each tribe made of less than 100 individuals. There was hardly any division of labor, other than sexual. The tribe would designate a chief, and modern ethnology tells us the chief had very little power. His main function was to defuse any conflict a...

  • Working Class Versus The Ruling Class
    1,196 words
    Abraham Cahan's "A Sweatshop Romance" is a short story which at first can be easily mistaken for a simple piece of work. However, upon closer inspection it is clear that this story is a Marxist text which explores many of the fundamental flaws of society that Marxism tries to identify. Several key passages hint at concerns related to class-consciousness which serves to reinforce the Marxist philosophy and although some could argue that this piece of text is propagandistic in nature, it does have...
