Hegel Decoder: A Reply to Smith's 'Reply
INTERVENTIONS John Rosenthal Hegel Decoder: A Reply to Smith’s ‘Reply’ In prefacing his ‘reply’ to my book The Myth of Dial- ectics , Tony Smith offers a sort of apology for en- gaging in ‘arcane debates about the relevance of Hegelian dialectics’ at a time when ‘over a quarter of the world’s population [is] mired in global depres- sion’. 1 I cannot join him in this apology, nor can I agree with his hopeful assessment that such debates – by which…
The Escape from Hegelians: Rejoinder
On Two “Models” of Capitalism
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, discussion of alternatives to capitalism has increasingly ceded place to discussion of alternative “models” of capitalism. In this literature, “AngloSaxon” capitalism is frequently opposed to “Rhenish” capitalism. A classic example of the idiom is Michel Albert's Capitalism Against Capitalism. Albert and other “rhenanophiles” favorably contrast the generous social welfare provisions characteristic of the Ge…
"Kosovo and "The Jewish Question
Whether or not it is true, as Václav Havel famously claimed, that NATO's attack on Yugoslavia represents the first war to be waged "in the name of principles and values," the first "ethical war," it might well be the case that it is the first act of armed aggression against a sovereign state whose popular legitimation relied almost wholly upon an alleged historical analogy. NATO spokespersons and apologists could not allude often enough to the Se…
The Escape from Hegel
At least since the publication of Roman Rosdolsky's The Making of Marx's Capital , the Grundrisse has been an essential refer-ence for anyone wishing to demonstrate a significant dependence of Marx's political economy upon Hegelian “logic.” Contrary to Rosdolsky's interpretation, however, the Grundrisse can in fact be read as the drama of Marx's escape from his Hegelian philosophical heritage. Hegel's “dialectical method” is not a method of logi-…
The Myth of Dialectics: Reinterpreting the Marx-Hegel Relation
- Marx on the Marx-Hegel Relation' - 'Dialectics', Historicity, and the Logic of Capital - PART 2: REIFICATION AND EXCHANGE - Concepts and Objects - Property and Person - The Objectification of Social Relations - An 'Idealism of Matter' - PART 3: 'DIALECTICAL' CONTRADICTION AND THE LOGICIZATION OF THE EMPIRICAL - Two Principles of Contradiction - The Word Made Flesh - The 'Reality' of Contradiction - PART 4: THE OBJECTIVITY OF THE ECONOMIC - A Fo…
The Myth of Dialectics: Reinterpreting the Marx-Hegel Relation
For a century now Marxists have been searching for a 'rational kernel' of Hegelian 'dialectics' inside the 'mystical shell' of the Hegelian system. As against this entire tradition, Rosenthal insists
Wal Suchting: An Intellectual Appreciation
Evoquant sa longue correspondance avec le professeur australien Wal Suchting sur la recherche marxiste dans le contexte universitaire postmoderne, l'A. presente leurs points de desaccord concernant l'interpretation de la «Logique» de Hegel comme reaction romantique a la nouvelle science de son epoque. Reconnaissant en Suchting un defenseur socialiste de la valeur cognitive de la theorie marxiste, l'A. montre que son collegue reprendra la question…
Of Course Murder: On A Sort of Homage to Kurt Tucholsky
"For four years there were whole square-miles of land upon which murder was obligatory, whereas only half an hour away it was just as strongly prohibited. Did I say 'murder'? Of course murder. Soldiers are murderers." These words, written by the German satirist and poet Kurt Tucholsky, are today the object of a remarkable controversy in Germany: remarkable not only because the stake in the controversy is whether it will remain legal even just to …
Value and Consumption: Prolegomena to the Theory of Crisis
What constitutes the barriers to demand against which the accumulation of capital collides in periods of crisis or stagnation? The prevailing Marxist common sense suggests that such barriers derive from the limited purchasing power of the wage. The author takes issue with this common sense in order to prepare the way for a more adequate answer to the question posed. As analysis of the practical logic of exchange reveals, under capitalist conditio…

Who Practices Hegemony: Class Division and the Subject of Politics
Today, on Left and in the domain of theory, a choice is being posed: politics or radical democracy? And yet, as with any allegedly exhaustive polarity, the choice as formulated is not an innocent one, for the terms of which it is comprised are only bound together by the force of a normative hierarchy. We are by all means free to but there is a right choice and a wrong, which is to say that, however we may choose, the very fact of the opposition w…
