60 Pragmatism and Its History
18. Dewey, The Later Works of John Dewey, 1925–1953, vol. 13, p. 350. Trotsky’s
passage continues: ‘That is permissible . . . which really leads to the liberation
of mankind. Since this end can be achieved only through revolution, the liberating morality of the proletariat of necessity
is endowed with a revolutionary
character. It irreconcilably counteracts not only religious dogmas but all kinds
of idealistic fetishes, these philosophical gendarmes of the ruling class.’ Steven
Lukes argues that Trotsky exhibits the ‘paradox’ of Marxism: ‘[W]hat is striking about Marxism is its apparent
commitment to both the rejection and the
adoption of moral criticism and exhortation.’ S. Lukes, Marxism and Morality
(Oxford, UK: Clarendon Press, 1985), p. 4.
