Former issues

No. 99 | (Autumn 2013)

Four excellent articles address the theoretical and historical problems of social transformation in this issue of Eszmélet. Based on the links between the material and spiritual modes of production, István Mészáros describes the conditions and limits of "free spiritual production", showing that without transforming the whole system there is no way to the realm of freedom. Starting out on the lessons from 1968, Alexander Tasasov presents the historically determined way of transforming the system revolutionary by overcoming its limits. A still forceful article of Noble prize winning writer Gabriel García Márquez from 1974 analyses the historical roots and lessons of the fall of Allende and the excellent cultural sociologist Jim McGuigan reconstructs the leading ideas governing capitalism.

The second analytical block of this issue is focusing on the links between churches and nationalism – from a historical point of view. The articles differing in their genre are approaching the role of the institution and ideology from the question of maintaining the power of the rulers; ranging from the development of ideas rooted in the movement of Hungarian populist writers, through the connections between Catholicism and anti-Semitism, the theology of liberation to Pope Francis getting on the scene.
