Condition: Nuevo. Primera edición. Libro NUEVO. Biblioteca Saavedra Fajardo de Pensamiento Político. Prólogo de Étienne Balibar. Materialismo salvaje afronta tres preguntas que marcan los límites de la filosofía política contemporánea: si los intereses y las reivindicaciones sociales son antagónicos, ¿puede darse la unidad social?; de darse, ¿se basaría en sus términos universales? Por último: ¿cómo se habrá de revisar el concepto de democracia a raíz de la globalización económica, del terrorismo de estado y no estatal, del integrismo religioso, étnico, y nacionalista? Para Lezra, la respuesta a estas preguntas pasa a través del terror, paraconcepto que puede y debe operar a modo de universalidad. El terror resultaría ser la base sobre la cual montar críticas y alternativas al terrorismo integrista, fundacional; y el ?materialismo salvaje?, el método o instrumento para construir una ética del terror y, en el ámbito político, la república radical. El libro se centra en el caso español (desde Silíceo hasta el asesinato de Carrero, pasando por Saavedra Fajardo y Zambrano), enmarcándolo en el panorama de la modernidad europea.

Paperback. Condition: New. 1st ed. 2016. Lucretius's long shadow falls across the disciplines of literary history and criticism, philosophy, religious studies, classics, political philosophy, and the history of science. The best recent example is Stephen Greenblatt's popular account of the Roman poet's De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) rediscovery by Poggio Bracciolini, and of its reception in early modernity, winner of both a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. Despite the poem's newfound influence and visibility, very little cross-disciplinary conversation has taken place. This edited collection brings together essays by distinguished scholars to examine the relationship between Lucretius and modernity. Key questions weave this book's ideas and arguments together: What is the relation between literary form and philosophical argument? How does the text of De rerum natura allow itself to be used, at different historical moments and to different ends? What counts as reason for Lucretius? Together, these essays present a nuanced, skeptical, passionate, historically sensitive, and complicated account of what is at stake when we claim Lucretius for modernity.…

Opening a groundbreaking methodological dialogue between Freud's work and Althusser's late understanding of aleatory materialism, Lezra shows how an ethic of terror, and in the political sphere a radically democratic republic, can be built on what he calls 'wild materialism'.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Defective Institutions overturns the basis of institutionalism. Faith in classic institutions-exposed as clamorously inadequate by the failure of governance under neoliberalism--does not result in greater democracy, greater horizontality, or more equitable living. Nor does trust in the standing of decisions, in the authority of antecedent cases, in the coherence, strength, continuity, or solidity of the institutions that frame and render legitimate these decisions and the rules they buttress. To the contrary: the classically-imagined institution and our faith in it lie at the heart of neoliberal unfreedom and racialized violence. Working at the point of contact and conflict between socialist and anarcho-philosophical traditions, Defective Institutions offers an alternative, which is also an alternative to the figures of governance associated with the liberal conception of the state: an aberrant republicanism comprised of defective institutions, run through with the necessity of their abolition. Lezra's book moves from the primitive scenes of Western political institution-the city; the family; the university; the first person; "race"-through recent work in the philosophy of translation, decolonial studies, abolitionism, Afropessimism and its critiques, psvchoanalysis, and musicology. To offer an original wedding of abolition and institution, Lezra brings together genealogies of contemporary institutionalism (from Durkheim and Hauriou to Searle); post-Marxist accounts of the state (Balibar, Abensour); philosophical and anthropological anarchism (Wolff, Malabou, Graeber, Scott); critical legal theory (analyses of Marbury v. Madison as well as Dobbs v. Jackson); continental and analytic versions and critiques of foundationalism (Heidegger, Lyotard and Butler; Quine, Searle and Fine); and political and sociological abolitionism (Lewis, O'Brien). At a time when some call for strengthening institutions and for defending liberties ostensibly protected by such institutions, and others long for the destruction of institutions that have long been oppressive, Lezra's book offers today's Left a new framework for confronting institutions' necessity and their necessary abolition.…
