DESCRIPTION:John P. Clark’s new book, The Impossible Community, comes out of the 
 anarchist Social Ecology tendency of Murray Bookchin. Bookchin’s ideas 
 have been cited lately as one of the influences among Kurds of Turkey and 
 northern Syria. The latter have inspired the world with their defense of an 
 egalitarian, gender-equal community against the superior weapons of the 
 Islamic State butchers.\n\nFor Clark, Hegel’s dialectic addresses the 
 problem of free and full development after a revolution when new forms like 
 popular assemblies appear. For Bookchin these popular assemblies are purely 
 “unmediated social relations.” That, says Clark, can never be. Freedom 
 means confronting anew the necessarily mediated character of social 
 relations. \n\nAn Anarchist / Marxist-Humanist dialog will engage this 
 issue from the perspective of Hegel’s concept of dialectical mediation. 
 Hegel saw the need for his dialectic to be projected directly into the fray 
 as the prevailing discourse late in his life had retrogressed into two 
 opposite forms of “immediate truth:” either a fundamentalist attitude 
 toward scripture or an “enlightened” pure intuitionism.\n\nSunday,
