Note on EPoP: When my local group of comrades read EPoP together, many of us found Politzers’ arguments against religion in parts 1 & 2 to be too overly antagonistic to include in the mass community education program we’re developing (even though we agreed with the logic of Politzers’ arguments and his conclusions). Use this information as you see fit.
Be sure to follow Politzer’s work with On Contradiction, as Politzer makes some errors regarding dialectics, contradiction, and the negation of the negation.
I know this is a meme post but I’m going to leave these here for anyone who wants to read up on philosophy, specifically Dialectical-Materialism.
Georges Politzers’ book Elementary Principles of Philosophy
Sean Sayers’ article Materialism, Realism, and the Theory of Reflection
