Using the Greek word idios, meaning 'private', Neal Curtis calls this privatisation of the world 'idiotism'.Constructing a new vocabulary with which to understand contemporary society, Curtis examines 'idiotism' across the spheres of economics, politics and culture, drawing on the philosophy and political theories of Martin Heidegger, Louis Althusser, Franco Berardi, Jacques Ranciere and Cornelius Castoriadis. Idiotism recasts our conception of the new neoliberal 'common sense', presenting it as not simply a case of false consciousness, but an ontological problem related to our being-in-the-world. 517 $aIdiotism 606 $aNeoliberalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aSociety$2ukslc 615 0$aNeoliberalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSociety. 676 $a306.342 700 $aCurtis$b Neal$0883478 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bStDuBDSZ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633943603321 996 $aIdiotism$91973311 997 $aUNINA
