Through the negative dialectics of Theodore Adorno, Illusion and
Fetishism in Critical Theory offers an examination of Nietzsche,
Benjamin, Castoriadis and the Situationists, who put the concept of
illusion at the forefront of their philosophical thought. Vasilis
Grollios argues that these political philosophers, except
Castoriadis, have up to now been wrongly considered by many
scholars to be far from the line of thinking of negative
dialectics, Critical Theory, and the early Frankfurt School/Open
Marxist tradition. He illustrates how these thinkers focused on the
illusions of capitalism and attempted to show how capitalism, by
its innate rationale, creates social forms that are presented as
unavoidable and universal, yet are historically specific and of
dubious sustainability. Providing a unique overview of concepts
including illusion, totality, fetishization, contradiction,
identity thinking, and dialectics, in their philosophy, Grollios
expertly reveals how their understanding of critique can help us
open cracks in capitalism and radicalize democratic social practice
today. Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory is a must read for
scholars of political theory and political philosophy, critical
theory, the Frankfurt School, Sociology, and in democratic theory.
