Abstract

Marx’s analysis of the commodity results in his conception of Capital as substance in the form of alienation. While Hegel claims that substance can be understood as the realization of freedom, Marx shows this freedom to be alienated labor: abstract labor, which Marx identifies as the capitalist conception of value. The book clarifies why Marx’s so-called materialist criticism of Hegel can be conceived of as an immanent criticism of Hegel: Marx’s criticism explicates that the realization of freedom in the Philosophy of Right contradicts Hegel’s basic point of departure. The adequate realization of freedom not only leads to an alternative (non-alienated) conception of value, but also explains why this conception of value is fully compatible with the free market.

Abstract

La théorie de la reconnaissance constitue aujourd’hui un paradigme essentiel pour les sciences humaines et fait l’objet de multiples métamorphoses et controverses dans la pensée contemporaine, par exemple dans les domaines du droit, de la politique, de l’économie, de la morale, de l’éducation, de l’épistémologie. Le présent ouvrage de Hans-Christoph Schmidt am Busch offre l’exemple d’une réinterprétation active de la théorie envisagée aussi bien en rapport à l’exégèse de la tradition philosophique dont elle procède qu’au renouvellement du débat critique contemporain sur l’état de la société et du capitalisme. Le travail de Schmidt am Busch est représentatif de la façon dont une nouvelle génération de philosophes se confronte à la théorie de la reconnaissance en se rapportant à la fois aux textes fondateurs de Hegel et de Marx comme aux interprétations récentes d’Axel Honneth et Ludwig Siep, qui tous deux ont placé la philosophie hégélienne en général et la question de la reconnaissance en particulier au centre de leur investigation philosophique. The author shows why implementing the project of a critical social theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt School based on recognition theory can yield promising results. In this context, the category of recognition is of special value because by using recognition theory, social relationships can be both analyzed and criticized. This is shown in the exemplary interpretation of classical texts (Hegel, Marx, Habermas and others).

Abstract

Zentral ist den Marx'schen Texten die Nähe von Trauma und Ökonomie; darin besteht ihre unerhörte Modernität. Zwar spricht auch Marx die Sprache der Metaphysik. Aber durch sie hindurch kündigt sich bei ihm eine Erfahrung an, die die ökonomische Ordnung als differentielles Gefüge von Texten entzifferbar macht. Es verlangt nach Begriffen, die ebenso »semiotisch« wie »grammatologisch« sind und nicht zuletzt mit einer »marxistischen Metaphysik« brechen. Heute treffen diese Begriffe auf das Diktat einer »globalisierten« Ökonomie, den Verfall des Politischen, auf Diskurse des Krieges, der Medien und der Psyche und nicht zuletzt auf die Bürokratien der Systemtheorie. Entscheidend sind jedoch nicht solche regionalen Verfassungen von Wissen, Technik und Macht. Entscheidend ist, wie sie hervorgebracht werden und welche »Arbeit der Differenz« sie praktisch dekonstruieren kann. Hier allerdings begegnen sich Marx, Heidegger und Derrida. Deren Rendezvous macht eine erneute Lektüre der Marx'schen Texte nötig - »hier« und »jetzt«, unter dem Diktat einer »Globalisierung« und nach dem Sturz staatlicher Systeme, die sich auf Marx beriefen. »Hauptanliegen des Werkes ist es, Marx' Text - singulär durch seine 'Dekonstruktion' der hegemonialen Sprache - einzubringen gegen die neoliberale Globalisierung. Die Dringlichkeit dieser Auseinandersetzung steht außer Zweifel, denn der Neoliberalismus 'lässt keine Zeit'. Die Stärke der Ausführungen besteht stets im Abweis hegemonialen wie reformistischen Denkens.« Thomas Marxhausen, Das Argument 260 (2005)

Abstract

The forces that shape our history are always contentious, yet our fascination with what drives the actions of the human race is inexhaustible. In 'Guns, Germs, and Steel', Jared Diamond proposed one set of forces; Willie Thompson, in 'Work, Sex, and Power', suggests a far more radical and fundamental trio. Deploying decades of experience as a historian, Thompson re-establishes a materialist narrative of the entire span of human history, drawing on a vast range of contemporary research.

Abstract

In Marx and the Common , Luca Basso provides a detailed reconstruction of the late Marx's connection of the collective dimension of communism and the element of individual realisation. Through an original analysis of a vast range of Marx's writings - from Capital to his political texts and scientific notes - the author brings out an articulated historical-theoretical landscape in which the notion of 'individual' is intertwined with the ideas of 'class', 'society' and 'community'. Rooting his analysis in the revolutionary power of the workers' 'acting in common', Basso brings to the fore an anthropological dynamic in Marx, irreducible to either liberal individualism or any kind of organicist approach.

Abstract

Does Marxism possess an ethical impulse? Is there a moral foundation that underpins the Marxist critique of capitalism and the vision for social progress? The essays collected in Constructing Marxist Ethics: Critique, Normativity, Praxis argue that there is such an ethical grounding for Marxist theory. The essays, each from different vantage points, construct what a Marxian ethics should look like: what kind of values should be at the heart of the Marxian enterprise. Contributors are: Dan Albanese, Paul Blackledge, Bob Cannon, Tony Burns, Ian Fraser, Ruth Groff, Wadood Hamad, Christoph Henning, Peter Hudis, Lauren Langman, George E. McCarthy, Sean Sayers, Michael J. Thompson, and Lawrence Wilde.

Abstract

Liberal Socialism exposes false ideas of justice behind neo-liberal capitalism and combines Rawls' ideas on justice and Marx's views on capitalism to make a plausible case for the alternative social ideal of liberal socialism. A fixed social structure gives equal weight to all competing claims for rights, liberties, and shares of the burdens and benefits of social cooperation, while allowing a democratic majority vote for liberal socialism.

Abstract

Legal Naturalism advances a clear and convincing case that Marx's theory of law is a form of natural law jurisprudence. It explicates both Marx's writings and the idea of natural law, and makes a forceful contribution to current debates on the foundations of law. Olufemi Taiwo argues that embedded in the corpus of Marxist writing is a plausible, adequate, and coherent legal theory. He describes Marx's general concept of law, which he calls "legal naturalism." For Marxism, natural law isn't a permanent verity; it refers to the basic law of a given epoch or social formation which is an essential aspect of its mode of production. Capitalist law is thus natural law in a capitalist society and is politically and morally progressive relative to the laws of preceding social formations. Taiwo emphasizes that these formations are dialectical or dynamic, not merely static, so that the law which is naturally appropriate to a capitalist economy will embody tensions and contradictions that replicate the underlying conflicts of that economy. In addition, he discusses the enactment and reform of "positive law"-law established by government institutions-in a Marxian framework.
