Morale provisoire discussion #3 with Alberto Toscano
Morale provisoire discussion #3 with Alberto Toscano. Can we escape ethical dualism or political fatalism as the twin reactions to the failure of cognitive mapping? This talk will explore this question, and the aesthetic or representational facets of morale provisoire, by filtering them through recent representations of capitalism as totality and by revisiting the dialectics of (ethical) decision and (economic) system in the writings of the young Lukacs, the plays of Sartre and Badiou's recent reflections on the idea of communism.
