Spinoza offers us, no more and no less, a philosophy of power, freedom, and joy. Deleuze was one of the first contemporary thinkers to exploit its political implications … https://t.co/Gip2Ij50xG

"Neo-fascism, neo-imperialism – these terms are not radical enough to name the situation that already defines us. Only planetary vision will be adequate for perceiving the world we now inhabit together."

French theory—the body of thought otherwise known as structuralism and post-structuralism—has been a polarizing force among students and scholars since it emerged. It came from the intellectual climate of postwar Paris, where the dominant school of thought had been existentialism. For some, the humanist emphasis that existentialism placed on the freely choosing individual felt naïve, or at least incomplete. By the sixties, it seemed that systems, not individuals, were the forces governing reality. Of the thinkers who began to take up these new philosophies, interested in the relationship between the system and the subject and the ways that language governs understanding were Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Jacques Derrida.

A new book—part memoir, part biography, and part philosophy primer—by Emily Eakin charts theory’s progression and the quirks of its progenitors, while explaining the work of eight famously difficult thinkers. It also traces Eakin’s own falling in, and out, of love with theory. “The book’s appeals to reader-friendliness can feel pandering,” Dayna Tortorici writes. “Then again, a little hand-holding isn’t unwelcome. Even the Frenchmen didn’t always understand one another’s work.” Read her review: https://t.co/viyf0Vvsue

La dejé a medias en enero.

La he vuelto a empezar y la he terminado en apenas cuatro días.

Sencillamente no puedo concebir que nadie vivo sobre la faz de la tierra escriba un mejor libro que el que ha pergeñado este señor.

No sabría ni por dónde empezar a glosarla.

This is a decent enough book on the SI. I especially liked Stracey’s chapter on the situationists and gender.

Landauer's «antipolitics not only has the negative meaning of a rejection of current politics, but also the positive one of calling for a subversion of the modern symbolic and material order based on the sovereignty of the state and its representative and institutional system».

Η κριτική σκέψη απαιτεί σήμερα να πάρει κανείς το μέρος των υπολλειμάτων της ελευθερίας, να στηρίξει τις τάσεις προς την πραγματική ανθρωπιά, ακόμη και αν αυτές μπροστά στο βασικό ρεύμα της ιστορίας φαίνονται ανίσχυρες - Adorno & Horkheimer
