The inverted world and fetishism in Benjamin’s dialectics
The article aspires to cast light on aspects of the radical character of Walter Benjamin’s work, that, sadly, have not, to date, provoked much discussion in the literature on him. The main issue it elaborates is his dialectic between fetishized, reified social form, and content-essence, which forms the core of the concept of critique in his philosophy. In Benjamin’s case, the concept of illusion, or, as the notion is described in his texts, of ph…
Illusion and Non-Identity Thinking in Nietzsche's Critical Theory
The paper attempts to bring to the fore the radical character of Nietzsche's critical theory. It argues that behind Nietzsche's consideration of suffering lies both a critique of one-dimensional mass culture and fetishism, and a theory of alienation that is much closer to Marx's critique of alienation in capitalism than is usually believed. Uniquely, it will also support the idea that Nietzsche holds a theory of a dialectics between content and f…

Philosophy of history and philosophical anthropology in J.S. Mill's views on colonialism
The article aims to bring to light the philosophical background of J.S. Mill's views of colonialism. His philosophy of history and his philosophical anthropology are strongly connected to his theory of democracy in this area of Mill's social theory. Although he was undoubtedly radical according to the standards of his day, Mill adopts the anti-democratic logic of the capitalist mode of production and uses it as a gauge of cultural development. Fo…
Dialectics and democracy in Georg Lukács's Marxism
This article aims to bring to the surface the philosophical background of Georg Lukács's democratic theory by investigating his philosophy of dialectics in depth. It presents an innovative interpretation of his understanding of the role of the general committee of the Communist Party in the transition to socialism, and his support of Stalinism. Its aim is to investigate, in a far more rigorous way than has been done before, the relation of his th…
Remarx
In my response to Callari and Ruccio I contrast their Althusserian interpretation of democracy in Marx to my understanding, which stems from Critical Theory. The non-materialistic and non-dialectical character of Callari and Ruccio's Althusserian theory makes them unable to bring to the fore the dialectical relation between form (capital) and content (our doing) according to which democracy and fetishism should be analyzed
J.S. Mill’s Views on Democracy after 1848
In his philosophical anthropology Mill assimilated a moderate form of capitalist values. Viewed from the perspective of class, this made it impossible for him to fully applaud socialism and democracy. Many commentators confuse these two terms and, as a result, do not understand that Mill tried to promote working class interests and its social power only to the extent that they would not assail the foundations of the capitalist mode of production.…
Marx and Engels' Critique of Democracy
The philosophical background to Marx and Engels' concept of democracy has not been seriously analysed by the research community thus far. Rather than focusing on one aspect of Marx and Engels' understanding of democracy, this article attempts to clarify the overall development of this concept in their political theory. By providing supporting textual evidence in order to generate a precise understanding of the value-laden meaning of their use of …
