More about the book

The exploration of an "activist" philosophy emphasizes movement as a fundamental aspect of existence, focusing on qualitative transformation rather than static definitions. Central to the discussion is the relationship between neoliberal capitalism and movement, particularly how it mobilizes emergent potentials. The concept of "ontopower" is introduced, highlighting the need to understand capitalist power to effectively resist it. Collective counter-powers and the transindividual nature of thought are examined, urging a reconsideration of political practices that embrace creativity and unrest at both individual and collective levels.
