Volume 14 – Section 4

  • B. Draft Chapters of Philosophy and Revolution

    The first chapter of Philosophy and Revolution (P&R) drafted in outline form by Dunayevskaya was written in the Spring of 1961 (#4316), and was entitled “Subjectivity of Self-Liberation.” By 1963, she drafted what was to became Chapter 6, then entitled “Sartre’s Search for a Method to Undermine Marxism.” Beginning in 1967, Dunayevskaya launched a sustained effort to draft the whole of P&R, writing nearly all the eventual nine chapters twice, and writing some chapters three times before they reached their final published form. A number of these drafts — as well as a brief selection of crucial correspondence about the draft chapters — has already been included in the Dunayevskaya Collection (#4144-4337). In recent years other draft chapters written between 1968 and 1972 have been located. They are added here.

  • 1. Part I? Economic Reality and the Dialectics of Liberation.

    link to PDF file: http://rayadunayevskaya.org/raya/ArchivePDFs/13103.pdf

    A draft chapter completed on March 20, 1968. In a cover letter which Dunayevskaya sent out to “Dear Friends” with this draft chapter (#4295), she suggested that it was likely that this chapter would be located much later in the sequence of the book, and that a new Part I would be created, entitled “Why Hegel? Why Now?” The draft chapter included here contains material which appears in Chapter 7 of the book as published — on the “African Revolutions and the World Economy” — and Chapter 2, Section 2 — on “The 1850s: The Grundrisse, Then and Now.” For other drafts of these sections of the book, see #4176 (completed March, 1969), and #4227 (completed October, 1968).
