Indifference and Repetition; or, Modern Freedom and Its Discontents: Frank Ruda Indifference and Repetition; or, Modern Freedom and Its Discontents
Frank Ruda; Translated by Heather H. Yeung; Foreword by Alain Badiou
R889 R716 Discovery Miles 7 160 Save R173 (19%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In capitalism human beings act as if they are mere animals. So we hear repeatedly in the history of modern philosophy. Indifference and Repetition examines how modern philosophy, largely coextensive with a particular boost in capitalism’s development, registers the reductive and regressive tendencies produced by capitalism’s effect on individuals and society. Ruda examines a problem that has invisibly been shaping the history of modern, especially rationalist philosophical thought, a problem of misunderstanding freedom. Thinkers like Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and Marx claim that there are conceptions and interpretations of freedom that lead the subjects of these interpretations to no longer act and think freely. They are often unwillingly led into unfreedom. It is thus possible that even “freedom” enslaves. Modern philosophical rationalism, whose conceptual genealogy the books traces and unfolds, assigns a name to this peculiar form of domination by means of freedom: indifference. Indifference is a name for the assumption that freedom is something that human beings have: a given, a natural possession. When we think freedom is natural or a possession we lose freedom. Modern philosophy, Ruda shows, takes its shape through repeated attacks on freedom as indifference; it is the owl that begins its flight, so that the days of unfreedom will turn to dusk.

Trans(in)fusion and Contemporary Thought: Thinking in Migration engages with Ranjan Ghosh’s concept of trans(in)fusion and critical theory.

The chapters not only analyze Ghosh’s work but provide insight into the authors’ individual positions and critical approaches.

On Literary Plasticity - Readings with Kafka in Ecology, Voice, and Object-Life (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Heather H. Yeung On Literary Plasticity - Readings with Kafka in Ecology, Voice, and Object-Life (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Heather H. Yeung
R1,521 Discovery Miles 15 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

On Literary Plasticity: Readings with Kafka in Ecology, Voice, and Object-Life calls to Franz Kafka, and in particular 'Die Sorge des Hausvaters', for aid in charting the long reach of plastic on the human mind and world. In this book, Heather H. Yeung builds a past and future ecology of plastic, arguing that it is through a deep reading of literature that we can begin to understand more clearly what it is that plastic means to us today, asking, under the auspices of the idea of literary plasticity: what are the true depths of our twenty-first-century fascination with plastic? How did we become so entangled? How can we come to a better understanding of plastic's role in our imagination, our environment, and our lives? What can literature teach us in this respect? Why should we care?
