Diego Fusaro Bücher

Marx 2.0 - Die Rückkehr eines Verdrängten Diego Fusaro veranschaulicht, wie sehr die gängige Ideologie heute darum bemüht ist, Marx in „entkoffeinierter“ Form - also ohne sein antikapitalistisches Pathos und ohne seine revolutionäre Natur - vorzeigbar zu machen. Marx' politische Ausdruckskraft bleibt aber im Kern stets oppositionell und umstürzlerisch. In seinem neuen und radikalen Buch untersucht Diego Fusaro die aktuelle neoliberale Welt durch die Brille von Marx. Er liefert damit einen neuen Schlüssel zum Verständnis des „Kapitals“ und eine Begründung dafür, warum das Werk als ein Klassiker der Philosophie und ein Meisterwerk des deutschen Idealismus verstanden werden kann, ja muss.

"It will then be clear that the world has long possessed the dream of a thing of which it only needs to possess the consciousness in order really to possess it." Karl Marx One of the greatest unsolved issues that Karl Marx bequeathed to his interpreters concerns the legitimacy of practical and theoretical hope, both in the frame of his thought and in the wider horizon of philosophy. The entire Marxian work seems to be enigmatically suspended between the opposite dimensions of science and hope. The interpretative lines chosen by Ernst Bloch and Karl Löwith see in Marx a philosopher of hope more than a philosopher of science; and these reflections recognize the inevitable utopian tension in relation to which science is a secondary and functional phenomenon. They both claim that hope is at the heart of Marx's thought; however, given the antithetic views about this feeling held in their philosophical reflections, they end up with an opposite evaluation of hope. One of the greatest unsolved issues that Karl Marx bequeathed to his interpreters concerns the legitimacy of practical and theoretical hope, both in the frame of his thought and in the wider horizon of philosophy.

Exploring the relevance of Marx in today's capitalist landscape, Diego Fusaro's work challenges readers to reconsider Marx's ideas after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The book argues that while Marx alone cannot address contemporary issues, his critique remains essential for understanding and overcoming capitalism's contradictions. Fusaro presents a version of Marx that transcends dogmatism, advocating for a blend of idealism and materialism that promotes ethical politics and a vision of 'cosmopolitan communitarianism,' essential for a critical understanding of modern society.

Hegel's philosophical ideas clash with contemporary post-1989 capitalism, particularly his focus on historicity during the so-called end of history and his emphasis on communitarian subjectivity amidst individualistic isolation. His advocacy for an ethical State and the importance of political authority stand in stark contrast to today's deregulated market and liberalist values, highlighting the profound incompatibility between his thought and modern capitalist structures.

The current European Union is too often presented as the perfect realisation of a Europe of the people and freedom. The present essay overturns the common way to understand this reality. A triumph of capitalism, which has now become absolute, the creation of the European Union has in fact proceeded to destabilise the hegemony of the political. It has paved the road to an irresistible cycle of privatisations and cuts to public spending, to forced precarisation of labour and to an ever-more sharp reduction of social rights, inflicting economic violence upon the subaltern and the most economically deprived. For this reason, the only way to re-imagine the future, to vindicate the people and work, and to continue the struggle that was Marx's and Gramsci's, is to move from a radical critique of finance and the Euro.

Since antiquity, Epicurus' thought has been compared to a powerful drug able to cure the pains of the soul that have always tormented man preventing him from living a peaceful existence: but we know that the Greek term pharmakon can be interpreted in its two opposite meanings of medicine and poison; and indeed, the same duplicity animates Epicurus' philosophy which, by acting as a medicine for the human soul, also has the effect of a poison, destroying from within, philosophy traditionally conceived as a disinterested contemplation of truth. The philosophical revolution undertaken by Epicurus as a fracture with respect to all the previous tradition, from Thales to Aristotle, coincides with an inversion of the traditional relation between man and cosmos, between theory and practice: the classic question "what is reality made of?" is replaced by the Epicurean question that is at the basis of his philosophical anthropocentrism: "how must reality be made and how should one understand it in order to be happy?". Each specific articulation of Epicurean philosophy is subordinate to the task of achieving a happy existence that is in no way inferior to any of the divine realities'.

Il pensiero di Marx può essere interpretato come il compimento della filosofia dell’idealismo tedesco?In questi saggi Diego Fusaro analizza l’ontologia marxiana al di là delle apparenze e dei luoghi comuni proposti dal marxismo classico, per rintracciare i punti di consonanza non immediatamente evidenti tra il pensiero del filosofo tedesco e le modalità avanzate dall’idealismo classico.Ciò che emerge è un conflitto a tratti da una parte, la volontà manifesta di abbandonare l’idealismo hegeliano, dall’altra, l’effettivo permanere di Marx su questo terreno.

Scopo del presente studio monografico è un'analisi storicofilosofica dei principali nuclei teorici della filososofia della storia sviluppata da Johann Gottlieb Fichte nelle sue lezioni tenute a Berlino dal 4 novembre 1804 al 17 marzo 1805 e pubblicate nel 1806 con il titolo di Tratti fondamentali dell'epoca presente (Grundzüge des gegenwärtigen Zeitalters). In un costante richiamo delle pregresse acquisizioni teoriche fichtiane, delle filosofie della storia anteriori e successive (kant, Schelling, Hegel) e delle più autorevoli voci della Fichte-Forschung, il saggio esamina in particolare le seguenti categorie la divisione dei compiti tra storici e filosofi, il nesso tra filosofia della storia e dottrina della scienza, la relazione tra la libertà degli enti finiti e il "piano del mondo" (Weltplan), la concreta periodizzazione della storia universale e la serrata critica del presente, connotato da Fichte come "epoca della compiuta peccaminosità".

Il presente studio monografico affronta il problema della genesi e dello sviluppo del concetto di "Stato chiuso dal punto di vista commerciale" nella riflessione di Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Prendendo in esame la non esigua bibliografia sul tema e le più recenti acquisizioni della Fichte-Forschung, il saggio cerca di mostrare come sia possibile rintracciare, nel percorso teorico fichtiano, una correlazione essenziale tra il fondamento della dottrina della scienza come "sistema della libertà" e la teoria dello Stato chiuso commercialmente così come viene sviluppata da Fichte a partire dal 1800. La "chiusura commerciale" appare a Fichte, nella specifica congiuntura storica in cui si trova a operare, la sola via per reagire all'"anarchia commerciale" e, dunque, per rendere praticabile la dottrina della scienza come inesausto sforzo di razionalizzazione dell'esistente.
