This essay considers the weaknesses of contemporary intellectual efforts to come to terms with the felt sense of chaos that increasingly marks the current context. It argues that there are two dimensions that have to be considered: first, the prevalent de-historicization of events, and second, the simplification of the analytic field. Specifically, it addresses how we treat economics, the organization of the political field, and the nature of political judgment. Against these, it proposes more complex and contextual ways of considering these issues, and argues that we must take culture more seriously, especially in the face of the increasingly affective nature of political contestations.
Abstract
This essay considers the weaknesses of contemporary intellectual efforts to come to terms with the felt sense of chaos that increasingly marks the current context. It argues that there are two dimensions that have to be considered: first, the prevalent de-historicization of events, and second, the simplification of the analytic field. Specifically, it addresses how we treat economics, the organization of the political field, and the nature of political judgment. Against these, it proposes more complex and contextual ways of considering these issues, and argues that we must take culture more seriously, especially in the face of the increasingly affective nature of political contestations.
