![]() Toward a Radical Metaphysics of Socialism attempts to recuperate and emancipate the notion of metaphysics in this scenario by virtue of radicalizing thought's encounter with the Real. ![]() As we know, Marx's rigorously descriptive language unravels the radical core of capitalist economic processes and, through that unraveling, also reveals capitalism's necessary exploitation and subjugation of human labor. And this catechism interferes, Kolozova argues, with more direct encounters with Marx's writings. The latter entails a process of abstracting a philosophical legacy - or rather, of putting it in brackets - and then codifying a history of a learned interpretation established in supposed fidelity to the theoretical project of a "master." Interpreting the master implies a mastery of doctrinal tools, which results in establishing a catechism of the Logos of the Master. In vigorous fashion, Kolozova re-awakens Marxism and rescues it from its torpor." Francois Laruelle Departing from the conventional readings of Karl Marx's Capital and other of his works, by way of François Laruelle's "radicalization of concepts," Katerina Kolozova identifies a theoretical kernel in Marx's thought whose critical and interpretative force can be employed without reference to its subsequent interpretations in the philosophical mainstream. It is at once the best possible introduction to Laruelle's appropriation of Marx and a Marxian radicalization of Laruelle's 'non-standard philosophy'." Ray Brassier "Katerina Kolozova delivers the first accurate and comprehensive study of my interpretation of Marx in my book Introduction to Non-Marxism, and more generally, of contemporary Marxism. From the reviews of Ray Brassier and Francois Laruelle (followed by a brief description and TOC): "This is a passionately engaged work that dramatizes the radical stakes of Marx's and Laruelle's projects while drawing creatively on the work of Butler, Firestone, and Haraway along the way. The "non" stands for surpassing the "principle of philosophical sufficiency" (as in Laruelle's non-philosophy for that matter) and points to a radicalization of Marx's project rather than to the erroneously opposite impression the "non-" might create. ![]() The book builds on Laruelle's project of "non-Marxism": radicalization of Marx by ridding the reception of his texts of any remainders of philosophy preventing Marxism to become the science Marx intended it to be. ![]()
