    Essays on Dialectical Naturalism

    de Murray Bookchin, Todd McGowan ...
    What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face.

  • Self-Sabotage

    How We Try Not to Flourish

    de Todd McGowan ...
    Series series Theory Redux
    Self-Sabotage contends that an unconscious impulse to undermine our own interests plays a dominant role in our lives.

  • Embracing Alienation

    Why We Shouldnt Try to Find Ourselves

    de Todd Mcgowan ...
    The left views alienation as something to be resisted or overcome, but could it actually form the basis of our emancipation?In Embracing Alienation, Todd McGowan offers a completely different take on alienation, claiming that the effort to overcome it is not a radical response to the current state of things but a failure to see the constitutive power of alienation for all of us. Instead of trying ... Leer más

  • Pure Excess

    Capitalism and the Commodity

    de Todd McGowan ...
    Todd McGowan forges a new theory of capitalism as a system based on the production of more than what we need: pure excess. He argues that the promise of more—more wealth, more enjoyment, more opportunity, without requiring any sacrifice—is the essence of capitalism. Previous socioeconomic systems set up some form of the social good as their focus. Capitalism, however, represents a revolutionary ... Leer más

  • Universality and Identity Politics

    de Todd McGowan ...
    The great political ideas and movements of the modern world were founded on a promise of universal emancipation. But in recent decades, much of the Left has grown suspicious of such aspirations. Critics see the invocation of universality as a form of domination or a way of speaking for others, and have come to favor a politics of particularism—often derided as “identity politics.” Others, both ...

  • Capitalism and Desire

    The Psychic Cost of Free Markets

    de Todd McGowan ...
    Despite creating vast inequalities and propping up reactionary world regimes, capitalism has many passionate defenders—but not because of what it withholds from some and gives to others. Capitalism dominates, Todd McGowan argues, because it mimics the structure of our desire while hiding the trauma that the system inflicts upon it. People from all backgrounds enjoy what capitalism provides, but at ... Leer más

    de Todd McGowan ...
    Hegel is making a comeback. After the decline of the Marxist Hegelianism that dominated the twentieth century, leading thinkers are rediscovering Hegel’s thought as a resource for contemporary politics.

  • Žižek Responds!

    Edición de Dominik Finkelde, Professor Todd McGowan ...
    Responses to the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek have been, like Žižek himself, extreme. Critics have accused him of charlatanism on the one hand, while others have lauded his genius, especially as a public intellectual, on the other. This makes it difficult to find any kind of nuanced or interesting critical appraisal of his work.At its best Žižek's work provides a new foundation of ... Leer más

    The Political Project of Psychoanalysis

    de Todd McGowan ...
    Series series Symploke Studies in Contemporary Theory
    Although there have been many attempts to apply the ideas of psychoanalysis to political thought, this book is the first to identify the political project inherent in the fundamental tenets of psychoanalysis. And this political project, Todd McGowan contends, provides an avenue for emancipatory politics after the failure of Marxism in the twentieth century.Where others seeking the political import ...
