Idiotism examines the condition of society in late capitalism where
the market logic of neoliberalism has become the new 'common
sense', taken as the model for the organisation and management of
all aspects of social life. 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.
