Ireland: The Saville Report - Derry's wounds laid bare By Fightback Editorial Board The strategy of British imperialism in the north of Ireland has changed; the emphasis has been to reach some sort of "truth and reconciliation".

By Alan Woods Cualquiera que desee comprender la vida no como una serie de accidentes sin sentido ni como una rutina irreflexiva debe ocuparse de la filosofía, esto es, del pensamiento a un nivel superior al de los problemas inmediatos de la vida cotidiana. Tan sólo de esta forma nos elevamos a una altura desde la que comenzamos a realizar nuestro potencial como seres humanos conscientes, dispuestos y capaces de tomar las riendas de nuestro destino.

Publicamos por primera vez en castellano los capítulo I de Historia de la Filosofia.  OTHER LANGUAGES Pomigliano non si piega, Pomigliano resiste! By Alessandro Giardiello Il referendum che si è tenuto ieri alla Fiat di Pomigliano è per i lavoratori, la sinistra, il sindacalismo di classe di questo paese uno splendido risultato. Una sconfitta certo, ma che ha visto quasi il 40% dei lavoratori (circa la metà degli operai) dire NO al ricatto della Fiat. Marchionne voleva il plebiscito ma il plebiscito non c'è stato.
