The objective of this book is to construct an individually
emancipatory economic and political philosophy. This means a
concrete-based, man-centered, non-hypostatizing, anti-dialectical
approach to the apprehension of the material, i.e. nature in
general. This constitutes an emancipation from culture-based
understandings of reality, and in particular from the
metaphysically biased type of culture represented by capitalism.
The proposed philosophical emancipation means individual liberation
from the logically flawed, massifying character of the dominant
mode of thought of capitalist times. From these bases, the social
sciences can also be reformulated. Micocci argues that capitalism
can be conceptualized as a limited and limiting socialized mode of
thought, an intellectuality whose dialectical features are
effectively identified by using the proxy of political economy,
both marxist and mainstream. Political economy in fact, being a
most representative instance of dialectical thinking, mirrors the
dialectical nature of capitalist economic and political
relationships. According to Micocci, non-dialectical occurrences in
capitalism are simply excluded from normal social, economic, and
intellectual activities, which are performed in a metaphysical,
intellectually isolated environment. In capitalism, therefore, the
materials, the concrete, i.e. nature itself, is not considered as a
whole but only as occasional instances. Micocci describes
capitalism, in sum, as an intellectually constructed culture (a
metaphysics) which preserves itself, and props itself up, by means
of its iterative (market-like) functioning.
