Fourth Workshop in Social and Political Thought at Michigan State University
\nwith Carol C. Gould\, Moishe Postone\, and Tony Smith \;
\nFriday: 9am-6pm\, Saturday: 9am-1pm
\n\nDescription:
\nThis workshop will be a forum for addressing the provocative ways in which recent scholarship situates Critical Theory in contemporary analyses of Capitalism in relation to normative questions &lsquo\;of a global scale.&rsquo\; In this sense\, the workshop will discuss the status and relevance of a critique of Capitalism in its global form in contemporary Critical Theory. An important aspect of this discussion is the extent to which a normative analysis of Capitalism can be related to an analysis of the immanent tendencies of Capitalism. Participants will confront and examine recent shifts of Critical Theory away from a Marxian notion of the critique of political economy\, and the viability of critiques of Capitalism in light of recent conceptions of economic crises and accelerating globalization.
