The Black Lamp Collection

by Nabi Eullmann

Science must be understood as a social labor process, not as an abstract search for truth floating above politics.

In the first of these two essays syndicated from The Black Lamp, The Science of Solidarity, Nabi Eullmann traces how universities, corporations, journals, and funding agencies have turned science into a competitive, deskilled, increasingly privatized industry—then asks what it would mean to reclaim science as a democratic practice.

In the second, High Priests of Telescopes and Cyclotrons: Marxism and Revolutionary Strategy as Science, Eullman asks what it would mean to take Marxism as a science seriously--and applies it to analysis of some popular contemporary political trends.
