  • The Game of the World

    Kostas Axelos, Hellmut Munz et al.BOOKGame of the World2023

    Drawing on philosophies of gaming and play from Heraclitus and Plato through to Marx, Nietzsche and Heidegger, Kostas Axelos outlines an extraordinary, unique vision of our contemporary world. Originally published in 1969, The Game of the World brilliantly anticipates a 21st century in which ever-accelerating technological transformations coincide with a world at play and in play, at once fragmentary and totalised, disordered and hyper-organised.…

  • The Game of the World

    Kostas AxelosCHAPTERThe Game of the World2023

    The plays in the world, the world of play, the play of man and the play of the world. All interpretations of the world try to give name and figure to this play, yet ‘it’ surpasses them. It takes up again ‒ without recuperating them ‒ logos, being and nothingness, everything and nothing, god and physis, the human and history, poetry and art, which deploy themselves through its play. Finally, it itself does not ‘exist’: neither its names nor its oc…

    Kostas AxelosARTICLESubStance1979Cited by: 2

    Let us begin abruptly with two quotations. One is from Marx who writes in Capital that capitalist system prevents worker from enjoying his work of his own physical and mental forces. The other quotation is from Heidegger who writes in Onto-theological nature of metaphysics [Identity and Difference]: the essence of Being is Play in itself. These two quotations are not all isolated, infrequent or arbitrary. Again in Capital, Marx writes, letting wo…

  • Marx, Freud, and the Undertakings of Thought in the Future

    Open AccessKostas AxelosARTICLEDiogenes1970References: 1

    There was the young Marx and the old Marx. There was the young Freud and the old Freud. There was Marxism and Marxisms, Freudianism and Freudianisms. There has even been a Freudo-Marxism. One speaks of Freudo-Marxism because it is after a certain level of understanding of Freud that one comes to Marx, in order to bring the two together in an articulated whole which admits of mediations between the two geniuses of reductive analysis of social man …

    ion de tout le reste » 1. Toute relation humaine, donc, qui rompt avec cette structure, avec cette abstraction de la personnalite d'ensemble de l'homme, avec cette subsomption sous un point de vue abstrait, est un pas vers la destruction de cette reification de la conscience humaine. Or un tel pas presuppose l'engagement actif de l'ensemble de la personnalite. Il est ainsi devenu clair que les formes de la liberte dans les organisations bourgeois…
