What becomes of life, experience, and truth in the
hyperconsumeristic culture of the twenty-first century? What
happens to the phenomenological call to go "back to the things
themselves" when these things, to an ever greater degree, involve a
televised life that is not ours to live, celebrities who are
utterly like us yet infinitely untouchable, and uncannily
pluripotent electronic gadgets? Combining sustained philosophical
inquiry with fragmentary and experimental theoretical
interventions, Anthony Curtis Adler rethinks Marxist materialism
and the Heideggerian project in terms of the singular experiences
of late capitalism. In doing so, he reveals how the disarticulation
of life via the commodity fetish demands at once a new notion of
phenomenological method and an ontology oriented toward the radical
contingency of being itself as transcendental ground.
