Structures Systems Processes

Rather than being characterized by purely superficial philosophical concerns on the fringes of economics or politics, Marxist theory has operated as a necessary vector for the revival of philosophy itself. Especially thanks to the Marxism of Balibar, Negri, Badiou, Zizek and other thinkers, interest in the history of philosophy has been tremendously revived among a new generation of students and theorists. This return to Marx in philosophy is not a delayed response of philosophy to challenging historical conditions, but a genuine dialectical transformation within philosophy's own disciplinary and normative space. This ubiquitous feeding of contemporary Marxist thought is a sign of its strength, its desire to debate with different views and to hybridize with what it has learned from other thought structures. By bringing various paths of contemporary Marxist theory into dialogue in a compilation, the main aim of this study is to carry forward those philosophical and political inquiries that promise to reshape the world of a future filled with questions and dangers, but also with the beautiful sparkles of dawn.

Marxist theory has been at the forefront of attempts to understand and theorize the real or fictional developments called “globalization,” the rapid and often violent processes that are currently reshaping human life on the planet. The articles in this first book of the series Discussions in Contemporary Marxist Theory attempt to identify the specifics of our current historical conjuncture by addressing structural issues, including technological change, new geopolitical formations, the new economy, precariousness, neoliberalization, and the demands of ecology, and by asking questions about the challenges these issues pose for theory. expresses.
