Eco/logical R/evolution, is the story of mankind, told with words of a great and wonderful subjective odyssey, the never-ending quest; for objective truths and collective Eudaimonia. The author raises the issues; of political weakness and widespread confusion, about logical analytical errors, of which we find many of in Old Marxist Ideology. As a conscious effort, is thus made, to expel the mental subjugation of Platonic Idealism, away from the clenches Aristotelian Realism, and its bastard offspring; Old Historical Materialism. The book identifies, in the works of Darwin and Marx, a wide range of worrying philosophical incompatibilities, such that are clearly found; in their respective theories and research methodologies.
We hereby propose; that a New Marxist Philosophy of Science, stands a probable chance; at unifying the Natural and Social Sciences. As the convergence of truths is manifest, thus, it is mapped out in detail by the author, out of necessity. It invokes, a Marxist Metaphysical Identity, for the sole purpose of; presenting a teleological framework, for New Marxist Theory.

My review
Darwin ≥ Marx: Eco/logical R/evolution by Ciprian Pater is a critical analysis of political philosophies such as idealism, dialectical materialism, realism along with the theory of evolution. The author took an independent stand to analyse these ideologies to frame an unbiased outcome. Although the ultimate goal of this book is to propose a new Marxist philosophy of science that is relevant to the modern age, the author is vigilant to criticize the old Marxist philosophy to its roots.
This is an in-depth study that correlates the philosophies put forth primarily by Aristotle, Plato, Marx and Darwin. The author argues that every ideology has its own innate weaknesses. They all fail to understand human instincts and behaviour which drives their act to a certain extend. Eventually, the Darwinian philosophy and Marxian ideologies succeed to interpret human behaviour to some extend. But in this technologically advanced world, even Marxian philosophy is failed to predict human behaviours. Still, it is relevant but timely interpretations and advanced research is needed to make them relevant to current circumstances.
The Darwinian theory also has its shortcomings. The author criticizes many assumptions and predictions put forth by evolutionary theory in the historical and contemporary contexts. The new Marxian framework is proposed based on his analysis and conclusions. Through the New Marxist philosophy of science, the author correlates all streams of science which collectively affects the lives and livelihood of humans. I found this interpretation as very unique. Because he argues and applies Marxian theory to derive conclusions on diverse fields like economy to biology. His analysis opens an inter-disciplinary approach for rather confined socio-political theories.
In short, this comprehensive study on socio-political philosophies opens a new door of knowledge to the readers. The research and effort taken by the author to bring such a holistic analysis deserves a huge round of applause. This is definitely a book that I will re-read for sure.
