Program
Course title:
Capital Realism: Marx, the Big Other and us
Course content (for both attending and non-attending students):
1. Firstly, by focusing on classical political philosophers of modernity (Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Hegel, Karl Marx) the course will investigate the main political doctrines that shaped politics in modern State (absolutism, liberalism, democracy, socialism).
2. Secondly - through Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Slavoj Žižek and Mark Fisher - the course will analyze how marxist theories and psychoanalysis allow a radical critique of modern and contemporary political thought, by showing the economic and imaginary foundation of societal bonds.
In particular the figure of the Big Other, as theorized by Žižek and Fisher, will shed light on the lies that structure our neoliberal present. While ecological crisis, depression, bureaucratization of life, and even Covid-19 pandemic will be considered as symptoms that open new possibilities for the future.
Methods:
Lectures based on reading and interpretation of the texts and discussions
Bibliography
Examination Methods
For both attending and non-attending students: oral exam (from January to September 2022).

- ability to think in a personal and independent way.
