Marx, again!

The Spectre Returns

Beschreibung

"Diego Fusaro's book invites us, in an original and striking fashion, to rethink and rediscover Marx following the fall of the Berlin Wall. The total domination of capitalism, the new world system, compels us to stop recounting edifying histories, even if it is the history of the 'freedom of the moderns'." André Tosel Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Nice "I share Diego Fusaro's analysis: whereas Marx by himself is not enough today, it is also not possible to understand, criticise and finally overcome the contradictions of triumphant capitalism without Marx. ... From Fusaro's text emerges a Marx who is freed from dogmatism, scientism and the myth of guaranteed progress, but not from the ability to criticise injustice and to propose a real emancipation of humankind. A non-Marxist Marx..." Gianni Vattimo Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Philosophy, University of Turin Co-Author of Hermeneutic Communism and former MEP "At a time when we are witnessing a centralisation of power, concentration of wealth and commodification of everyday life, returning to Marx is indispensable for a critical philosophy of the contemporary. Diego Fusaro's superbly written book provides an original reading of Marx's metaphysics and its paradoxical fusion of idealism with materialism. What emerges is an ethical vision of politics that seeks to overcome the fantasised necessity of capitalism in the direction of a 'cosmopolitan communitarianism as the truth of social life'. Whatever the problems and deficiencies of Marx (and they are legion), Fusaro's Marxian meditations deserve the widest possible hearing." Dr Adrian Pabst Reader in Politics, University of Kent, Co-Author of The Politics of Virtue: Post-liberalism and the Human Future

Autor

Diego Fusaro (Turin, Italy, 1983) teaches History of Philosophy at the Institute for Higher Strategic and Political Studies, Milan, Italy. He studies the philosophy of history and the structures of historical temporality, particularly focusing on Fichte, Hegel, Marx and the German 'history of concepts'. He is the director of the I Cento Talleri series on philosophy published by Il Prato and is the editor of the online project La filosofia e i suoi eroi (Philosophy and its heroes - www.filosofico.net). He founded the association and review Interesse Nazionale (National Interest - www.interessenazionale.net). He writes for the Italian newspapers La Stampa and Il Fatto Quotidiano and makes frequent appearances on Italian TV, sharing his political analyses with the general public. Whereas Enrico Galavotti, in his Esegeti di Marx (2015), describes Diego Fusaro as 'the rising star of contemporary Italian Marxist philosophy', Fusaro defines himself as an 'independent disciple of Hegel and Marx'. In 2016, he gave a conference on Gramsci at Harvard University.
