Breaking the Bonds of Fate: Epicurus and Marx - Pt. 3/4

In this third segment of a series on ecology and materialism, John Bellamy Foster concludes that across different societies, starting from ancient China, the Hellenistic world, and India, there is a parallelism of class struggles. They involve notions of self-consciousness through production in relation with nature, human freedom, solidarity, and substantive equality. Common to them is a praxis that combines Epicurus\'s philosophy of enough and reciprocity with Marx\'s emphasis on production and transformation. Lynn Fries interviews John Bellamy Foster on GPEnewsdocs.
