43 | Transindividuality and Marxism with Jason Read
from What's Left of Philosophy · host Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, Gil Morejón, and William Paris
In this episode we talk with the wonderful Jason Read about his work on the concept of transindividuality and what it means for critical social theory, Marxist notions like alienation and reification, and traditional conceptions of freedom and equality. It’s bad news for anyone who thinks politics can be directly derived from ontology, but incredibly productive theoretically and practically if you're willing to think social relations as processes. Also Will admits he’s almost ready to confess his Spinozism, so that’s a clear win.follow us @leftofphilReferences:Jason Read, The Production of Subjectivity: Marx and Philosophy (Leiden: Brill, 2022)Jason's blog: http://www.unemployednegativity.com/Music: Vintage Memories by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com
