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. ... In vigorous fashion, Kolozova re-awakens Marxism and rescues it from its torpor." Francois LaruelleDeparting 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. 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. And this catechism interferes, Kolozova argues, with more direct encounters with Marx's writings.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. 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. Kolozova argues that this metaphysical drama is at the origin of the social and economic injustices of contemporary global economic-political realities, and she illustrates this state of affairs in discussions of the problem of wage labor, automated speculation as the core of late capitalism, the post-2008 financial crisis, the status of technology in late capitalism, sexual difference and gender, and the human and non-human body's subjugation capitalist automation.SocialismPhilosophy, MarxistSocialism.Philosophy, Marxist.335.411Kolozova Katerina1350775NjHacINjHacl9910686500203321Toward a Radical Metaphysics of Socialism3375388UNINA
