Abolishing Freedom: A Plea for a Contemporary Use of Fatalism
Book 1 of 6: ProvocationsLanguage: English
Published by University of Nebraska Press, 2016
ISBN 10: 0803284373 ISBN 13: 9780803284371
First Edition
paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Cairo. 2016. May 2016. University of Nebraska Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780803284371. Provocations series Marco Abel and Roland Végso, series editors. 5 x 8. 193 pages. paperback. Spring Summer 2016. keywords: Culture Studies Philosophy. DESCRIPTION - Pushing back against the contemporary myth that freedom from oppression is freedom of choice, Frank Ruda resuscitates a fundamental lesson from the history of philosophical rationalism: a proper concept of freedom can arise only from a defense of absolute necessity, utter determinism, and predestination. Abolishing Freedom demonstrates how the greatest philosophers of the rationalist tradition and even their theological predecessors - Luther, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Freud - defended not only freedom but also predestination and divine providence. By systematically investigating this mostly overlooked and seemingly paradoxical fact, Ruda demonstrates how real freedom conceptually presupposes the assumption that the worst has always already happened; in short, fatalism. In this brisk and witty interrogation of freedom, Ruda argues that only rationalist fatalism can cure the contemporary sickness whose paradoxical name today is freedom. 'Abolishing Freedom is not only the very acme of today's philosophy, but much more - it is a book for everyone who is tired of all the ideological babble about freedom of choice.' - Slavoj iek, author of Absolute Recoil: Towards a New Foundation of Dialectical Materialism 'Appropriating it as a natural right, a possession that can be taken away, the sign of the subject's sovereignty, liberalism has given freedom a bad name. Yet how to think without acknowledging the fact of freedom? In his delightful book, Ruda shows us the way. Reducing the liberal edifice to rubble, he rescues a freedom that is in no way ad libitum.' - Joan Copjec, author of Imagine There's No Woman: Ethics and Sublimation. inventory #42684.

Reading Hegel
Language: English
Published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, GB, 2021
ISBN 10: 1509545905 ISBN 13: 9781509545902
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. A spirit is haunting contemporary thought - the spirit of Hegel. All the powers of academia have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spirit: Vitalists and Eschatologists, Transcendental Pragmatists and Speculative Realists, Historical Materialists and even 'liberal Hegelians'. Which of these groups has not been denounced as metaphysically Hegelian by its opponents? And which has not hurled back the branding reproach of Hegelian metaphysics in its turn? Progressives, liberals and reactionaries alike receive this condemnation. In light of this situation, it is high time that true Hegelians should openly admit their allegiance and, without obfuscation, express the importance and validity of Hegelianism to the contemporary intellectual scene. To this end, a small group of Hegelians of different nationalities have assembled to sketch the following book - a book which addresses a number of pressing issues that a contemporary reading of Hegel allows a new perspective on: our relation to the future, our relation to nature and our relation to the absolute.

Politics, State, Communism (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Mimesis International, MI, 2024
ISBN 10: 8869774260 ISBN 13: 9788869774263
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The present book brings together a series of interventions concerning pressing political, ideological and organizational issues of the contemporary situation, edited by Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda. These texts were written in a very specific political conjuncture: some during the time when Alvaro Garcia Linera was serving as a vice-president of Bolivia, others in the period after the coup detat of November 2019. The chapters in this book are dealing with social movements and different forms of political and subjective autonomy in Bolivia; with democracy and its function in late capitalism; with the discrepancy between national and capitalist spaces; with the Russian October Revolution as an event, and its resonances in other parts of the world; with the concept and function of the state; and, finally, with the idea of communism in its relation to necessity and contingency. At the end, the book presents a long and detailed conversation between Linera and Hamza and Ruda, as well as an afterword written by Slavoj Zizek. The present book brings together a series of interventions concerning pressing political, ideological and organizational issues of the contemporary situation, edited by Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda.
