I impatient to see the next instance of Marx, perhaps it will lead to a breakthrough. But I’ll add this section to reflect on the themes uncovered so far and then revisit one of the questions I posed initially. Continue reading “Monograph 08 – Reflections”
Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 07 – Social Science
The section, Sociometry, Sociology and Scientific Socialism opens (page 12):
In the last hundred and fifty years three main currents of social thought developed, sociology, scientific socialism and sociometry, each related to a different geographic and cultural area: sociology to France, socialism to Germany-Russia, and sociometry to the USA.
Moreno is honouring Marxism by referring to “scientific socialism”. Moreno sees himself in this tradition of developing a third science, one that relates to humans. Continue reading “Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 07 – Social Science”

Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 04 – Unity of Humankind
The next mention of Marx is in the section called Social and Organic Unity of Mankind. I’m taking the thesis implied in this title as the first point for discussion. Then I address the section where Moreno references Marx about Christianity. The section opens with the famous lines:

Post to remember
I just found this post: There is no such thing as a person
It’s one I still appreciate having written. Strangely, it takes away something of so-called autonomy of the individual. Well, of course, it takes way individualism. Terry Real calls it toxic individualism, but any individualism is toxic. It’s a radical statement: there is no such thing as a person.
It is the exact opposite what Margaret Thatcher said, isn’t it? That there’s no such thing as society.
