What is the Institute for the Study of the Science of Society?
The Institute for the Study of the Science of Society was started in 1994 to further the understanding of how societies change and to help equip those fighting to change society with that knowledge.
The initiative for the Institute came from people active in the movement for social justice. These frontline activists in the struggle for a new world were confronted with the realization that their work could not advance much further without a deeper understanding of how societies change. The Institute was founded to address that need.
The Institute is based on Marxism as the science of society. We recognize that the advances in science demand that we deepen and extend the science of society and revolution. That science must also get out to the frontline fighters who are working to change society.
Since 1994 we have been conducting institutes in Chicago and other cities. The basic institute is a four-day program. Each day builds on the previous day and addresses a different aspect of Marxism as a science.
In the Institute, we distinguish between Marxism-the-science and Marxism-the-doctrine. Marxism-the-science describes the laws that govern the development of societies. Marxism-the-doctrine rests on the conclusions of the science and is the set of principles that guide revolutionaries&Mac226; activity. The Institute organizes classes and study materials on the science of Marxism to lay the foundation for the use of Marxism as a methodology and for the development of doctrine for the current epoch.
