Through a rigorous dialogue, the authors analyze the crisis of capitalism, the possibilities of emancipation, and the threats of post-neoliberalism. The reader will find a profound reflection on the need to renew revolutionary discourses, overcome statist nostalgia, and rearticulate social critique with a philosophy of freedom, moving away from the simplifications of prevailing common sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is a conversation guided by Philippe Corcuff in which Nancy Fraser and Luc Boltanski examine the current state of the political and intellectual left. They question how certain discourses that were born as revolutionary have drifted toward conservative positions, losing their capacity for critique and transformation. The authors immerse themselves in current political affairs to analyze the crisis of contemporary capitalism and explore avenues to relaunch cooperation between intellectuals and social movements. A central axis of the debate is the need to abandon superficial critiques of neoliberalism while, at the same time, overcoming nostalgia for a strong state, proposing a renewal of theoretical tools for emancipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eConservative drift of the left and critique of its discourses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCrisis of capitalism and analysis of post-neoliberalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of emancipation and renewal of critical theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eRelationship between intellectuals and social movements in the 21st century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eOvercoming statist nostalgia in leftist thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in political theory, critical sociology, and contemporary philosophy.

Its main value lies in the clarity with which it poses a central problem of our time: the need for the left to redefine itself without falling into empty discourses or authoritarian positions. It is a stimulating read for those seeking a critical analysis, free of dogmas, and a proposal for rigorous intellectual dialogue on the future of emancipation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CLAVE INTELECTUAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407242387803,"sku":"9788412099201","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841209920.jpg?v=1781850837","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788412099201","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
