Masses, Classes, Ideas

Autor: Etienne Balibar

Número de Páginas: 233

In Masses, Classes, Ideas, well-known French philosopher Etienne Balibar explores the relationship between abstract philosophy and concrete politics. The book gathers together for the first time in English nine of Balibar's most influential essays written over the last decade, which have been carefully revised and reordered in logical succession with an original preface. Balibar discusses the influence of political philosophy on collective movements, touching on issues of religious and class struggle, nationalism and racism, the rights of man and the citizen, and property as a social relation. He seeks to explain the novelty of Marxist philosophy and political theory with respect to the classical doctrines of "state" and "revolution." Masses, Classes, Ideas also examines the limitations and aporias which have become manifest in Marxist philosophy and critically assesses its legacy, offering a provocative contribution to the project of renewing democratic theory.

Fascism

Autor: David Renton

Número de Páginas: 132

In the 1930s fascist parties came to power across Europe. Millions were killed in the war and the Holocaust. Yet, sixty years on, fascism is on the rise once more in all major European states and far right parties are again winning converts. To explain this disturbing trend, Dave Renton surveys the history of modern fascism in Europe, from its pre-war origins up to the present day. Renton examines the Marxist response to fascism in the age of Hitler and Mussolini and the writings of political thinkers such as Trotsky and Gramsci, as well as more recent European theorists such as Miliband, Mason and Poulantzas. Renton argues that fascism should be understood not through the 'theory' of liberal fascism studies, but rather in terms of the brutal practice that fascism brought in its wake.

Italian Theory and New Political Extremisms

Autor: Alfonso Galindo Hervás

Número de Páginas: 194

So far this century, the most developed democratic societies have witnessed the emergence of various extremist political movements. Some have nationalist connotations, others religious; there are right-wing and left-wing, pacifist and violent, with environmental or social motivations, etc. But they all share reactionary, dogmatic and illiberal traits. Such movements testify to some of the limitations of our societies and the condition of life in them. Therefore, understanding the challenges they pose to our institutions is vital not only to confront them but also to identify their shortcomings and work to improve them. Using Italian Theory as a conceptual lens, this book provides genealogies of current extremist political movements, their theoretical assumptions and the challenges they imply. Succinct and accessible chapters discuss different manifestations of political extremism: its violence, its relation to populism, its religious dimension, its conception of political action, some of its intellectual influences and its anti-liberal and totalitarian character, to name a few. Italian Theory and New Political Extremisms is highly relevant to researchers and students interested in ...

Crisis and Culture in Post-Enlightenment Germany

Autor: Hans Schulte , David Richards

Número de Páginas: 528

In the spirit of the comparatist Peter Heller, to whom this book is dedicated, twenty-three leading scholars from various disciplines explore the modern crisis consciousness, its origins in 'Romantic' Germany, and its rich though troubled cultural harvest. An ever-shifting crisis is the result of the new spirit of subjective individualism confronting the old rational and social orders. As these essays demonstrate, the contradictional dynamics of enlightenment and irrationalism inspired the course and the manifestations of German culture, from Klopstock to the 'Historikerstreit' of very recent history. Co-published with the McMaster Colloquium on German Literature, Art and Thought.

Italian Critical Thought

Autor: Dario Gentili , Elettra Stimilli , Glenda Garelli

Número de Páginas: 146

Italian philosophical and political thought has been receiving ever-growing attention in international debates. This has mainly been driven by the revival of the Italian neo- and post-Marxist tradition and of the Italian interpretation of French Theory, in particular of Foucault’s biopolitics. So, is it now possible to speak of an ‘Italian Theory’ or an ‘Italian difference’ in the context of philosophical and political thought? This book collects together leading names in Italian critical thought to examine the significant contributions that they are giving to contemporary political debates. The first part of the book draws a possible genealogy of the so-called ‘Italian Theory’, questioning the possibility of grouping together many authors, and political and theoretical approaches which are often reciprocally in conflict. The second part of the book presents certain categories that have become characteristic of Italian Thought for their original interpretation and use by some of the authors recognized as part of the Italian Theory tradition, from biopolitics and political theology to crisis and immanence.
