The current political climate of uncompromising neoliberalism means
that the need to study the logic of our culture-that is, the logic
of the capitalist system-is compelling. Providing a rich
philosophical analysis of democracy from a negative, non-identity,
dialectical perspective, Vasilis Grollios encourages the reader not
to think of democracy as a call for a more effective domination of
the people or as a demand for the replacement of the elite that
currently holds power. In doing so, he aspires to fill in a gap in
the literature by offering an out-of-the-mainstream overview of the
key concepts of totality, negativity, fetishization, contradiction,
identity thinking, dialectics and corporeal materialism as they
have been employed by the major thinkers of the critical theory
tradition: Marx, Engels, Horkheimer, Lukacs, Adorno, Marcuse, Bloch
and Holloway. Their thinking had the following common keywords:
contradiction, fetishism as a process and the notion of spell and
all its implications. The author makes an innovative attempt to
bring these concepts to light in terms of their practical relevance
for contemporary democratic theory.
