This provocative collection of reflections and observations by Bob Avakian on art, culture, science and philosophy offers a rare treat.  Excerpted from formal talks as well as more informal discussions and conversations, many of the texts in this collection allow the reader to experience firsthand the freewheeling Bob Avakian – in the process of developing his thinking and reenvisioning the communist project on a wide range of controversies, from the dictatorship of  the proletariat to discussions of truth, beauty, science and imagination.  Insight Press believes this collection will provide the reader with important, fresh, and provocative insights and provoke further creative and critical thinking on art, culture, science, philosophy ... and revolution.
