Giacomo Marramao Book order

Capital is a chameleon that assumes different guises while maintaining the same logic, exploiting crisis as an opportunity for regeneration. Yet each transformation opens a passage for radical conflict and new revolutionary theories and subjects. This is particularly true of the critical passage from the 1920s to the 1930s, which Giacomo Marramao presents as an incandescent laboratory of theoretical and practical transformations and fierce confrontations. Moving from Austro-Marxism to Frankfurt School Critical Theory, from Hilferding to Grossmann, and Max Weber to Carl Schmitt, The Bewitched World of Capital shows how 'the Political' was remade in the passage from free-market capitalism to mass society, throwing new light on forms of domination and conflict that also traverse our present.

The book delves into the philosophical explorations of power by Central European writers Elias Canetti and Herta Müller, examining how they articulate forms of domination and the intricacies of authority across different contexts. It investigates the interplay between language and literature, particularly the connections between "power" and "potential," offering a profound literary analysis of these themes. Through this lens, the author provides a radical diagnosis of the mechanisms of command and law in society.

Exploring the evolution of political and philosophical thought, this book delves into the implications of a post-modern state landscape. It examines how traditional concepts of governance and power have shifted, challenging readers to reconsider the foundations of political theory. Through a critical analysis of contemporary issues, the author invites a rethinking of the relationship between politics and philosophy, emphasizing the need for new frameworks to understand the complexities of modern society.
