Riflessioni sulla critica althusseriana all’eurocomunismo/Humanisme ou dictature. Réflexions sur la critique althussérienne de l’eurocommunisme Authors: Viparelli, Irene Abstract: La réflexion d'Althusser sur l'eurocommunisme déplace la question de l'antihumanisme du plan épistémologique au plan juridique et politique. Le concept d'humanisme, fondement de l'idéologie juridique, se présente comme « symétrique » par rapport au concept marxien de dictature : deux modes opposés et inconciliables de penser la dimension « extra-juridique » constitutive du droit. L'abandon du concept de dictature du prolétariat par les partis communistes européens entraîne, par conséquent, l'occupation complète de cet espace extra-juridique par l'idéologie juridique humaniste et la dissolution définitive de la lutte des classes. La possibilité d'une théorie révolutionnaire ayant disparu, le domaine des droits de l'homme reste le seul terrain où les exigences démocratiques des masses peuvent encore s'exprimer, dans un mouvement régressif qui efface définitivement l'horizon communiste des luttes « pour l'inégalité ».

Authors: Santos, Filipe Duarte; O´Riordan, Timothy; Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg Tristan Editors: Takeuchi, Kazuhiko; Saito, Osamu Abstract: Greater global awareness and action to implement sustainable development are underway. However, global progress towards sustainability has been slow. Advancing towards some form of sustainability requires greater attention and analysis of the role played by the human inner world. While the scientific analytic tools have focused on external aspects, we present a scientific methodology to identify human critical determinants (HCDs) acquired during the human biological and cultural evolution, which, although crucial for survival, well-being, and economic prosperity, may also currently act as human sustainability boundaries (HSDs). These boundaries can be softened by personal transformations with the capability of spurring resonant institutional and governance transformations. This commentary examines how a definable set of interacting and interdependent HCD provides a complete and coherent explanation of why reaching sustainability is currently an elusive objective.

There is much greater global awareness and action towards sustainability. However, sustainability has persistently been sidelined, leading to the identification and definition of a transgressed “safe and just space for humanity”. Here we develop a new evolutionary approach and methodology to explain the reasons why sustainability continues to be a difficult challenge for contemporary societies to adopt. We argue that these originate in six major biological, social, psychological, political, and cultural critical determinants that resulted from human biologic and cultural evolution. Although they are essential for human prosperity and wellbeing, these characteristics may also act as human sustainability boundaries. It is possible to reduce the inhibiting power of each critical determinant in the pathways to sustainability, a vital process that we term softening. Identifying, knowing, and softening these impediments is a necessary first step to achieving sustainability through greater self-knowledge and transformational processes. The application of the present methodology is restricted here to the climate change challenge. We examine the ways in which each human sustainability boundary is capable of obstructing climate action and offer possible ways to soften its hardness.

In tale prospettiva, da un lato il presente è riconosciuto come l’effetto della “morte prematura” del comunismo, avvenuta nel corso del XX secolo a causa della forma inadeguata in cui si è dato l’incontro tra teoria e prassi rivoluzionaria. Dall’altro, e conseguentemente, l’eterna possibilità della riproduzione del medesimo incontro aleatorio in altre “forme storiche” rappresenta la base del neomarxismo di Althusser.
