Unraveling Marxism and Psychoanalysis: Philip Rieff's Legacy, Freud and the Marxism with Daniel Tutt

from Varn Vlog · host C. Derick Varn

What happens when we explore the tension between Marxism and psychoanalysis through the lens of Phillip Reiff  and Christopher Lasch's work and its relation to Henry Miller and John Updike? Join us in this thought-provoking conversation with our guest Daniel Tutt, a renowned scholar of Marxism and psychoanalysis. We'll discuss the Frankfurt School, the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s, and Lasch's unique perspective from Anglo-American Freudianism as a corrective to forms of Freudian Marxism considered infantile and out of touch with American dynamics.Discover the influence of Lacanian thought, its relation to right-wing Nietzscheanism, and the emergence of Pat Buchanan's book alongside the impact of the Trotsky-Tinya conservative pipeline. We'll analyze the work of notable thinkers such as Max Schattman, Tony Cliff, Paul Godfried,  MacIntyre, Rod Dreyer, and Elizabeth Brunig, and reflect on the lasting influence of McIntyre's work as well as the relevance of Virtue Ethics in today's intellectual landscape.We'll also dive into the roots of the sexual revolution in the 1950s, Ronald Reagan and Obama's reforms on local parenthesis laws, and how they are used as vectors of human capital. We'll examine the culture wars and their mutually constitutive nature, as well as the implications of modern intellectual life and the importance of giving due consideration to all perspectives. Don't miss this engaging and insightful conversation with Daniel Tutt, where we'll challenge your understanding of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and their intersections in our society. Daniel Tutt is a philosopher of psychoanalysis and Marxist thought. My first book is entitled Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family: The Crisis of Initiation and is published with the Palgrave Lacan Series. He is currently writing Nietzsche: A New Marxist Critique for Repeater Books which will come out in February of 2024.He is the convener of Study Groups on Psychoanalysis and Politics, a public learning platform that offers study groups, seminars, and podcasts.
