Is there a syllabus for these lectures available anywhere?

“Silence. A good projection screen. Calling Dr. Freud….” Silence…….. 😩😩😭😭🤭

thank you for uploading these lectures!

These are some of the most fresh and insightful readings of Capital I've run across. Thank you so much for posting them.

What is the actual explanation, beyond the historical contingency, of the so-called "global expansion" that "results" in the ruination of feudal society. Unless it was consistent with NON- or PRE-capitalist actor 'rationality', it is a classic petitio principii, assuming capitalist logic avant la lettre on the part of feudal or other pre-capitalist actors to explain the dissolution of pre-capitalist property and production relations and the transition to fully capitalist ones.

Good looking out, thank you.

This is gold. Thank you

Moishe Postone is amazing in every way

“By incorporating living labour into their lifeless objectivity, the capitalists simultaneously transform value, i.e. past, objectified, dead labour into capital, self-valourizing value, an animated monster.”

“It is the appearance of decontextualization that actually is the hallmark of this context.”

“This form of social mediation can necessarily only exist in objectified form. And what it does is that it constitutes a quasi-objective totality above and against all individuals, an impersonal frame of domination.”

“He argues against the notion that money mediates objects, but instead argues that money is the external universal expression of the mediating quality of the commodity form itself.” This is some high-level stuff! I would like to see the reaction to this from conventional bourgeois economists - their heads would probably explode.

So, the classical political economists are effectively doing "comparative statics" (at best) or (which is what they actually do) illegitimate teleology/deontology: there is a single, unitary, coherent 'natural system' which is permanently, universally 'there' and 'desirable' but only asymptotically attainable.

Postone is the goat! RIP king.

the discussion on objectification beginning around 16:00 is a very good explanation, yet again i find myself very impressed by postone

I love how he trashes other Marxists who are too lazy and one-sided to appreciate the very complex dialectical character of Marx’s analysis. They deserve to be attacked for that. You don’t need Marx to understand that the workers are being exploited, that’s pretty obvious, but you need Marx to understand these very subtle dialectical aspects of capitalist modernity.

”It’s not clear, succinct, short and straightforward, as anyone who lives on the British Isles know that reality is.” God, I love Moishe Postone, fuck those ”clear-minded” rationalists!

This is pretty hardcore

In the bit around 29:36, when he says: "Now, whether one sees the way the Communist Manifesto was written as a difference between exoteric and esoteric - if we can borrow from an unlikely figure, and this is exoteric except for the aficionados who know that this is really about time - or whether it also indicates just a real tension in Marx himself - and it’s not something that I’ve pursued, but I think it’s a legitimate issue, between Marx who is this theorist trying to grapple with the nature of capitalist modernity and the possibility of its fundamental transformation, and Marx the very impatient (student giggles) - no, I mean that seriously, the very impatient revolutionary. " - who or what is this "unlikely figure"? I've read Robert Kurz stressing the difference between esoteric and exoteric aspects of Marx, but I don't know whether he coined this distinctions or whether it reaches back to earlier discussions

Is it Grundrisse?

By the way he cites pages of a book. Could you help me understand what book is, please?

Here from Brazil, struggling against facism, learning from Postone! Keep on spreading such priceless analysis.

I contacted the original uploader of these videos and they confirmed that these lectures do continue and there are recordings of the later lectures, however, these were never edited and thus never uploaded to RUclips. They may be uploaded in the future, but they didn't say when that would be.

It's really a shame that there aren't more of those. Perhaps if you shared the URLs and the original playlist one could investigate?

So happy this is available, thank you so much

Damn Polanyi!
