Before that, Ben does an Opening Argument on the issues raised by the outrageous assault on free speech at Columbia. At the end of the main show, we play some of Daniel Tutt's guest appearance on Ben Burgis's Sunday afternoon Zoom Capital class to talk about the lumpenproletariat and tease Richard Wolff's guest lecture next Sunday.

Send us a textPhilosopher Daniel Tutt is with us, offering a unique lens through which to view the crossroads of psychoanalytic theory and Marxism. Ever wondered how intellectuals can navigate a depoliticized public sphere? We promise you'll leave this episode armed with strategies to engage meaningfully on compromised platforms and foster a vibrant counterpublic sphere. Join us as we explore the insightful works of Étienne Balibar and Hal Draper, dissecting their contributions to Marxist discourse amidst the tumult of the late 1960s.Our conversation maps the historical development and philosophical layers of the dictatorship of the proletariat within Marxist thought. Discover how figures like Lenin, Marx, and Engels shaped this concept and how the Paris Commune played into these revolutionary ideas. We'll guide you through the debates of Lenin and Kautsky, illustrating the intense class dynamics that shaped key revolutionary moments, and explore how revisionist Marxist theories influence our understanding of state power and class struggle.Intellectuals play a crucial role in Marxist theory, and we delve into their impact on societal structures, from traditional 'master intellectuals' to more organic forms. Shifting academic values and austerity have shaped theoretical struggles; we reflect on these changes while examining the interplay between dictatorship and democracy. Engage with us as we consider the adaptability of Marxist theory, analyzing varied interpretations and the continued quest for intellectual integrity in an ever-evolving world.

A new interview with Henry Holland from Nietzsche POParts, a recently-founded Swiss magazine dedicated to debating Nietzsche's relevance today—essayistic yet grounded in the latest scholarship. Henry interviewed me on my book How to Read Like a Parasite (https://a.co/d/3RxOrXO). A meticulous reader and a careful scholar, Henry asks very intelligent questions that reflect a deep immersion into my book. It's clear that he had not only read the book but he was challenged by it. If you feel so inclined or even challenged, be sure to pick up the book, available in Audible and in paperback (https://a.co/d/3RxOrXO). Read more from Nietzsche POParts and the text version of the interview will be published here (https://www.nietzsche-poparts.ch). Nietzsche POParts is set to expand to include English-language articles from 2025; until then browser translation extensions guarantee fascinating reads for those of you who don't read German!

We are joined by scholar and socialist thinker Tony, creator of @1Dimee, an important YouTube channel that offers educational videos for a mass popular audience. In this discussion, Tony and host Daniel Tutt discuss his research, writing and video work around The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 - 67. We examine what gave rise to the Cultural Revolution, what it tells us about class struggle and class as a political category vs. an economic category. We also broach how the Cultural Revolution has seeped into Europe, America and beyond. For background, watch Tony's documentary on "The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" and the second video "Why the Cultural Revolution Failed: Lessons for Leftists."

Today we sit down with Daniel Tutt to discuss many things, but with a focus on György Lukács and Jean-Paul Sartre.Daniel Tutt is a writer, philosopher, and the host of the Emancipations podcast, which delves into the intersections of philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, and contemporary political struggles. Daniel's work is a rich blend of psychoanalysis and Marxist thought, and his first book, "Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family: The Crisis of Initiation", published in 2022, seeks to invigorate the contemporary left by re-examining the family through these theoretical lenses.Daniel has an impressive academic background, having studied philosophy and psychoanalytic practice at American University and the European Graduate School. He has also imparted his knowledge at George Washington University, Marymount University, and even within the DC jail system. His research and writing cover a wide array of topics, including psychoanalysis and politics, Marxist theory, social reproduction debates, and the influence of Nietzsche and Nietzscheanism on contemporary thought.His latest book, "How to Read Like a Parasite: Why the Left Got High on Nietzsche", explores the profound impact of Nietzsche's philosophy on the left, tracing its influence from the Black Panthers to contemporary liberal academics. Daniel's insights promise to offer a thought-provoking and engaging discussion, and we're thrilled to have him with us today.CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction to Daniel Tutt3:25 - Tutt's vision of Marxist education11:10 - The origins of Tutt's podcast14:08 - Lines of Influence: Žižek & the Frankfurt School 21:20 - Main idea of "How to Read Like a Parasite" - Nietzsche's political epistemology 27:53 - On the critics of "How to Read Like a Parasite" 29:40 - French Nietzscheanism and the uncritical interpretation of Nietzsche 35:24 - The foundation of "How to Read Like a Parasite"39:55 - Nietzsche and anti-Semitism: the importance of Losurdo's intervention 44:04 - How to position Nietzsche on the left 47:43 - Introduction to Lukács's critique of bourgeois philosophy 57:10 - Overview of Lukács's concept of irrationalism 1:10:20 - Sartre vs. Lukács: Two ships passing in the night1:12:25 - The core contributions of Lukács's History and Class Consciousness 1:21:35 - Why Tutt debated Haz 1:24:06 - How to get beyond hyper-individualism and market-based rivalries on the left1:31:15 - The practico inert and Sartre's theory of groups 1:37:28 - Debord and Lukács1:41:40 - The influence of Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason on contemporary thought 1:48:55 - The meaning of praxis in Lukács and Sartre CONTACT DANIEL TUTThttps://linktr.ee/danieltuttEPISODE TEXTSGeorg Lukács1949 Essay on Existentialism:https://www.marxists.org/archive/lukacs/works/1949/existentialism.htmJean-Paul Sartre1961 Rome Lecturehttps://newleftreview.org/issues/ii88/articles/jean-paul-sartre-marxism-and-subjectivityFURTHER RESEARCHDaniel's Interview with Terry Pinkard, “Sartre's Marxist Turn?”:https://youtu.be/dmKoto74ZbE?si=J_M_uTIvMJigQ36SOn the Relevance of Lukács Worldview:https://cosmonautmag.com/2022/02/the-question-of-worldview-and-class-struggle-in-philosophy-on-the-relevance-of-lukacss-worldview-marxism-and-the-destruction-of-reason/DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE!Become a Patreon Patron:https://www.patreon.com/cyberdandySupport the Show.

Daniel Tutt is the author of How to Read Like a Parasite, a new book which warns leftist thinkers about the power and danger of Nietzsche. Daniel has a long history of engaging with Nietzsche's philosophy, and argues for a pugilistic relationship with him. In his view, the French leftists who utilized Nietzsche's work sometimes centered Nietzsche to their own detriment. Daniel's project aims not at canceling Nietzsche, but in reading him with a sober understanding of his political perspective and the ways in which it informs all of his ideas.

Greetings, audient!Thanks for hanging in there. It can't be easy.This episode tackles the Tossers' own Marx Grudge Star -- come to collect its resentful dues. Karma imposes its menacing presence in the form of a book by Daniel Tutt, with the provocative title How to Read Like a Parasite: Why the Left got High on Nietzsche. A unique pleasure it was to host Jamie, who joins us from a more Frankfurt School angle, and helped reign-in Sagi by riposting some of his cheaper jabs at our buddy Karlo.So, as you can imagine, it was a grudge-bath. (Yep. Me no native English.)At their best, our discussions turned, and tossed, the treacherous soils and soilings of ressentiment, a Nietzschean concept used against the working class to repress any uprising (for it will be ridiculed as a "slave rebellion" I imagine). Tutt lays this at Nietzsche's feet, the more general claim being that Nietzsche's philosophy is a status-quo machine, and/or an anti-revolutionary one, in the sense that it puts the kaibosh on any universal equality, ideational and/or actual, as some kind of (secret, cunning) axiom.All this time we thought it was Reason -- turns out it was Nietzsche who was cunning.We also admittedly devolve to devote some uneasy attention to Tutt's notion of the parasite vis-a-vis the act of reading/interpreting Nietzsche, which, if we're lucky, seems to only stumble over its own feet (the identity of the parasite shifting constantly, something narrated but never engaged with). If we're not, then Tutt's bulldozers will show those parasites 'how a real parasite does it,' becoming tone-deaf to the metaphysical critique that underwrites Nietzsche's contempt towards humanist ideas of equality in the process.We will get into that. And so much more...Stay tuned, won't you, audient?Stars: Marx Grudge; WWJD
This week I'm excited to share a conversation I had with Daniel Tutt, a Marxist and psychoanalytic theorist, and also a professor of philosophy at George Washington University, about his recently published book How to Read like a Parasite: How the Left got High on Nietzsche. His book provides a much needed intervention in Nietzsche studies by rigorously insisting on reading Nietzsche in his political context as an enemy of the socialist and Marxist movements for equality in his time. Daniel also helped me work through some questions I had related to Marxism and egalitarianism. What especially stood out to me was the way in which access to active leisure posed a key battleground for both Nietzsche and Marx. You can purchase Tutt's new book here (affiliate link), as well as check out how to support him and his work over at his Patreon. I'm personally a subscriber at Daniel's Patreon, and I benefit from his interviews with prominent thinkers in Marxism, psychoanalysis, and more.Books recommended by Daniel near the end of the podcast:* Nietzsche's Political Economy by Dimitri Safronov* Deconstructing Postmodernist Nietzscheanism: Deleuze and Foucault by Jan Rehmann (affiliate link)As always, don't forget to subscribe to Samsara Audio to get new episodes directly in your inbox, and you can also follow my free monthly newsletter on religion, philosophy, and psychoanalysis at Samsara Diagnostics.

A how-to guide for the left on how to overcome Nietzsche's divisive and damaging influence. How to Read Like a Parasite: Why the Left Got High on Nietzsche (Repeater Books, 2024) overturns the whitewashed and defanged version of Nietzsche that has been made popular by generations of translators and academic philosophers who have presented his work as apolitical and without a core reactionary agenda. The central argument of the book is that Nietzsche's philosophy does have a center, and that the left learns a great deal from Nietzsche when we read him as driven by a highly sophisticated reactionary political vision that informs all his major concepts and ideas. The most important Nietzschean concepts — from perspectivism, ressentiment, eternal return to the pathos of distance — are analyzed in the historical context in which Nietzsche lived and wrote, and several case-studies of prominent left-Nietzscheans from Jack London, Gilles Deleuze, Wendy Brown to Huey Newton are discussed. How to Read Like a Parasite makes a persuasive case for how we can overcome Nietzsche's damaging influence on the left, showing us how to read and understand his work without becoming victims of it.

Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/how-to-read-like-a-parasite-why-the-left-got-high-on-nietzsche/"Beautifully written and bursting with spirit, How to Read Like a Parasite is destined to be vital reading." - Matthew McManus, author of Nietzsche and the Politics of ReactionHow to Read Like a Parasite overturns the whitewashed and defanged version of Nietzsche that has been made popular by generations of translators and academic philosophers who have presented his work as apolitical and without a core reactionary agenda.The central argument of the book is that Nietzsche's philosophy does have a center, and that the left learns a great deal from Nietzsche when we read him as driven by a highly sophisticated reactionary political vision that informs all his major concepts and ideas.The most important Nietzschean concepts — from perspectivism, ressentiment, eternal return to the pathos of distance — are analyzed in the historical context in which Nietzsche lived and wrote, and several case-studies of prominent left-Nietzscheans from Jack London, Gilles Deleuze, Wendy Brown to Huey Newton are discussed.How to Read Like a Parasite makes a persuasive case for how we can overcome Nietzsche's damaging influence on the left, showing us how to read and understand his work without becoming victims of it.Support Zer0 Books and Repeater Media on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterSubscribe: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books, https://twitter.com/RepeaterBooks-----Other links:Check out the projects of some of the new contributors to Zer0 Books:Acid HorizonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/acidhorizonMerch: crit-drip.comThe Philosopher's Tarot from Repeater Books: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/The Horror VanguardApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horror-vanguard/id1445594437Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorvanguardBuddies Without OrgansApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/buddies-without-organs/id1543289939Website: https://buddieswithout.org/Xenogothic: https://xenogothic.com/
Support the show and get exclusive episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime In this episode of the 1Dime radio podcast, I am joined by philosopher Daniel Tutt host of the Emancipations Podcast, to discuss his upcoming book "How To Read Like a Parasite", which presents a rich critique of how Leftists interpret Friedrich Nietzsche and Nietzsche's broader impact on the left today and throughout history. Daniel Tutt shares insights into Nietzsche's influence on leftist thought, emphasizing how his theories can be both valuable and problematic. The discourse explores Nietzsche's impact on left-wing thinkers ranging from Gilles Deleuze, Georges Bataille, and The Bolsheviks to Huey Newton and Jack London. Tutt draws on some critics of Nietzsche, such as György Lukács and Domenico Losurdo's book Nietzsche: The Aristocratic Rebel. In this dialogue, we disset Nietzsche's views on politics, culture, class, slave morality, resentment, otium, truth and and the will to power. Tutt's upcoming book calls for a 'parasitic' interpretation of Nietzsche, in which we should take Nietzche as a challenge to the left and learn from his ideas while acknowledging that he is an enemy of the left rather than trying to ignore his reactionary politics to reinterpret his philosophy as being compatible with a Marxist emancipatory politics. These past two podcasts on Nietzche are my attempt to foster dialogue between left-Nietzchians, who believe a synthesis between Nietzche and Marx (or socialist policies more broadly) and left more skeptical thinkers, and see Nietzsche more as an enemy/challenge to the Left who should still be studied, rather than a thinker whose politics can be reconciled with a socialist/communist politics. Regardless of your views, Nietzsche and his philosophy are incredibly relevant in the age of late capitalism.

Ever wondered how your marital status or romantic relationship is shaped by society's norms and expectations? How about the notion of family abolition, a concept that offers a radical look at the institution of family as we know it? This episode draws you into a stimulating conversation with our guest, Daniel Tutt.Delving into the complexities of family formation and class dynamics, we challenge conventional understandings of family, marriage, and relationships. We traverse the intriguing paradox of the bourgeois family and its unattainable promises for the proletariat. The discussion intensifies as we explore the lumpenization of significant portions of the working class and how this might reshape our understanding of the family. We also scrutinize the societal pressures of self-actualization, the risks of pursuing education, and the historical context of abolishing family.We wrap up by examining the current family culture's impact on young generations and the intersection between family abolitionists and the left. Our dialogue seeks to redefine family and to seize the politicization of the generation to prevent reaction and even proto-fascism. Join us as we dissect, debate, and rethink the institution of family against the backdrop of societal changes, class struggles, and evolving definitions of love and relationships.

Sean is joined by @DaneilTutt, host of the @torsion_groups and @emancipations_ podcast, to talk about the life of Friedrich Engels through the Tristam Hunt's 2009 biography Marx's General.Is there truth to the argument, developed in the 1920s, that Engels was responsible for a serious distortion of Marx's theory? What do we make of his 'double life' as both a carousing bourgeois and a disciplined revolutionary? How did the political views of Marx and Engels change over he course of the 19th century? What was The Dialectics of Nature and how has so-called 'dialectical materialism' helped to dogmatize scientific socialism? And what remains of Engels' thought and practice today?Join us for a fun and informative episode on one of the revolutionary greats.

I wrote an essay on John and Barbara Ehrenreich's concept of the PMC, and how it relates to Mark Fisher's concept of the Vampire Castle, which I read in this episode. You'll hear the full version of the essay, but a shortened version will be included in a book titled Underground Theory, which will be available at Amazon to order a print copy September 4. The link is below. I'm proud to say that this essay will be included with essays by some smart and controversial thinkers including Žižek, Norman Finkelstein, Alenka Zupančič, Todd McGowan, Catherine Liu, Chris Cutrone, Daniel Tutt and Michael Downs of the Dangerous Maybe blog. In my essay I argue Mark Fisher makes the same mistake many Marxists have made. They conflate the petite bourgeoisie with the professional managerial class. This is an understandable mistake, but it is time for Marxists to begin using the Ehrenreich's definition of the professional managerial class in their class analysis. At another time I will quibble further with the Ehrenreichs. I think they make a few mistakes, but on the whole I think they have brought a tremendous improvement to the discipline of class analysis. The future of the socialist struggle must account for the distinctions between the petite bourgeoisie and the professional managerial class.

Agnes Smedley is an American writer and socialist heroine born in 1892 in Missouri. Her family relocated all across the American west including near the Ludlow Massacre of coal mining workers. Smedley managed to escape the conditions of poverty she was born into and went on to become one of the most important personalities of revolutionary socialism in the first part of the 20th century. Smedley's notoriety has been larger in Russia and China than in the United States because her books were banned during the Red Scare in the 1950s - 1970. She was witness to the Chinese Revolution where she spent the longest period of time embedded with the Chinese Red Army, longer than any other western journalist. We are joined by Stephen MacKinnon, a historian of modern China and the author of Agnes Smedley: The Life and Times of an American Radical to discuss the remarkable life of Agnes Smedley. In this interview, host Daniel Tutt and Stephen MacKinnon discuss Smedley's life and legacy and speculate into a number of open questions about her death, her possible status as a Russian spy and more.
Marxism is a left-wing to far-left method of socioeconomic analysis that uses a materialist interpretation of historical development, better known as historical materialism, to understand class relations and social conflict and a dialectical perspective to view social transformation.

What happens when we explore the tension between Marxism and psychoanalysis through the lens of Phillip Reiff and Christopher Lasch's work and its relation to Henry Miller and John Updike? Join us in this thought-provoking conversation with our guest Daniel Tutt, a renowned scholar of Marxism and psychoanalysis. We'll discuss the Frankfurt School, the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s, and Lasch's unique perspective from Anglo-American Freudianism as a corrective to forms of Freudian Marxism considered infantile and out of touch with American dynamics.Discover the influence of Lacanian thought, its relation to right-wing Nietzscheanism, and the emergence of Pat Buchanan's book alongside the impact of the Trotsky-Tinya conservative pipeline. We'll analyze the work of notable thinkers such as Max Schattman, Tony Cliff, Paul Godfried, MacIntyre, Rod Dreyer, and Elizabeth Brunig, and reflect on the lasting influence of McIntyre's work as well as the relevance of Virtue Ethics in today's intellectual landscape.We'll also dive into the roots of the sexual revolution in the 1950s, Ronald Reagan and Obama's reforms on local parenthesis laws, and how they are used as vectors of human capital. We'll examine the culture wars and their mutually constitutive nature, as well as the implications of modern intellectual life and the importance of giving due consideration to all perspectives. Don't miss this engaging and insightful conversation with Daniel Tutt, where we'll challenge your understanding of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and their intersections in our society.

We are joined by literary critic and actor Christian Lorentzen to discuss the legacy and thought of Christopher Lasch. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lorentzen and host Daniel Tutt discuss Lasch's socialist politics, why he's so often misunderstood by the contemporary left and how he read literature. We assess the reasons why Lasch remains so popular and we touch on the politics of American novelists, the new Dimes Square scene in Manhattan, for which Christian is a central figure and personality, and we touch on the generational politics that seem to return and return ever since Lasch diagnosed them in the 1970s.

Landon Frim and Harrison Fluss are joined by interviewer Daniel Tutt to discuss how philosophers are thinking the ecological crisis. Fluss and Frim argue the two dominant strains of thinking ecology today, Accelerationism and Gaian philosophies are ultimately inadequate frameworks because they reject the human frame as grounding politics; each seeks to subordinate the human in favor of a wholly alien other, either in the form of an anarchic nature or a dynamic technology. To transcend this strange coincidence of opposites, Fluss and Frim make the positive case for a Marxist humanism that is rationalist without being anthropocentric. This conversation is centered around their new book Prometheus and Gaia: Technology, Ecology and Anti-Humanism.

We sat down with French philosopher Mehdi Belhaj Kacem who the late David Graeber praised as one of the most important philosophers living today. In this interview, we discuss Kacem's reading habits, what inspires him in the world of thought, how he derived his philosophical concepts, what qualifies as truly radical in our age and why he broke up with his former mentor Alain Badiou. Kacem is, similar to Giorgio Agamben, a major critic of the way the ruling class is managing the pandemic and he is not shy to share his views. In this wide-ranging conversation, we catch a glimpse of a deeply inventive and creative mind and we get advice for how to do philosophy outside of conventional institutions. This interview was conducted on Thursday December 9th, 2021, by Daniel Tutt. Translation and interpretation assistance provided by Saad Boutayeb.

Donald and Rudy join Daniel Tutt for a discussion on the history and present of psychoanalysis and its relationship to Marxism. We discuss whether psychoanalysis can be considered a science and how psychoanalysts produce knowledge before explaining the libidinal economy and possible psychoanalytic interventions in the sphere of exchange. We also discuss Wilhelm Reich: his claim to being the first Marxist psychoanalytic as well as his writings on fascism and its relationship to the family. We continue with family abolition, psychoanalysis in the New Left, and Christopher Lasch's project in the context of psychoanalysis, and finish with the relevance of Ernst Bloch and utopia in Marxist propaganda today.
Join us for a discussion marking the paperback release of Domenico Losurdo's monumental study of Friedrich Nietzsche. ---------------------------------------------------- Recently translated into English by Gregor Benton, Losurdo's book is epic in scope, covering a wide range of philosophical and historical issues that not only situate Nietzsche in his 19th century context, but addresses some of the most burning theoretical and political issues of our times. Losurdo's Nietzsche represents one of the greatest examples of Marxist scholarship and criticism, and we will discuss the book's significance for not only how we see Nietzsche, but how we understand socialist theory today. Losurdo's Nietzsche shows us that the problems of the 19th century are not over yet. ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Harrison Fluss received his PhD in philosophy at Stony Brook University. He is a professor at Manhattan College, NYC and wrote the introduction to the English edition of Nietzsche, The Aristocratic Rebel. Benjamin Noys is Professor of Critical Theory at the University of Chichester. He is the author of The Persistence of the Negative, Malign Velocities, and the forthcoming The Matter of Language. Tijana Okić holds a PhD in Philosophy from the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. She is a longstanding activist of the “Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt” (CADTM), and is the editor of “The Lost Revolution: Yugoslav Women's Antifascist Front between Myth and Forgetting.” Her research includes issues of German Idealism, contemporary French philosophy, feminist philosophy, Marxism, the history of race and ethnicity, and the problems of memory in Yugoslav history. Daniel Tutt has degrees from American University and the European Graduate School. He is the author of the forthcoming book Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family: The Crisis of Initiationwith the Palgrave Lacan Series. His research is concerned with the intersection of contemporary politics, Marxism and Lacanian psychoanalysis. You can read his review of Losurdo's Aristocratic Rebel entitled “Nietzsche in His Time: The Struggle Against Socratism and Socialism” on the Historical Materialism website. ---------------------------------------------------- Order a copy of Nietzsche, The Aristocratic Rebel: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1565-nietzsche-the-aristocratic-rebel ---------------------------------------------------- Watch the live event recording: https://youtu.be/2sTqD62y2Do Buy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org Follow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks
Join us for an in depth and heartfelt conversation on contemporary Islamic spirituality and politics with Dr. Walaa Quisay, Ph.D. University of Oxford. Dr. Quisay's research looks at the Neo-Traditionalist Islamic movement, one of the most prominent Islamic intellectual and spiritual movements in the west. In this interview, co-host Daniel Tutt (@danieltutt) and Dr. Walaa Quisay examine how this movement thinks politics and justice, the origins of Islamism, how it differs from Neo-Traditionalism, whether Neo-Traditionalism is primarily a western movement, how it understands Marxism and Islamist movements, and how younger Muslims that are drawn to this movement are grappling with their subjectivities and with the political realities of the world. We also discuss Walaa's new research on Egypt post-Arab Spring. Enjoy! *Music: "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan
The 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche stands among the canon’s most-cited figures, with aphorisms dotting texts on a variety of topics, and his name evokes strong responses from almost anyone who has ever heard of him. His aphoristic and poetic writing style have made it difficult at times to understand what he meant, although the wealth of commentaries pulling him in a variety of different directions points to the fact that he did mean something. On the political right he has been credited as an influence among many reactionary political movements, but even on the left he is cited as an emancipatory figure, suspicious of the powers that be. Aside from these, his writings on art and psychology have remained influential for many. It would seem then that there are numerous Nietzsche’s one can pull from, and due to the loose nature of his writing, one would seem to be warranted in reading Nietzsche a bit more freely. However, that freedom and flexibility misses that there may in fact be a unifying thread to Nietzsche’s thought, and it may in fact be a much darker thread than many of his apologists have realized. This is the main argument of the book we’ll be discussing today, Domenico Losurdo’s Nietzsche, The Aristocratic Rebel: Intellectual Biography and Balance Sheet. Originally published about 20 years ago in Italian, it has recently been delivered to English audiences by Gregor Benton and with an introduction by Harrison Fluss as part of the Historical Materialism book series. Clocking in at just over 1000 pages, it is both a literal and figurative bombshell, delivering a rigorous and systematic account of Nietzsche’s thought. A major part of the books length comes from the fact that Losurdo refuses to treat Nietzsche in isolation, and instead spends a large amount of time recreating Nietzsche’s various contexts, 19th century Germany and Europe more broadly, as a way of making the political orientation of Nietzsche’s thought all the more explicit. Through his investigation, Losurdo reveals a Nietzsche who is committed to fighting against the democratic movements happening all around him and being an advocate for a superior elite at the expense of everyone else, whose main purpose in life is to serve them. Domenico Losurdo was an Italian Marxist historian and philosopher. Harrison Fluss received his PhD in philosophy at Stony Brook University. He is a professor at Manhattan College, NYC and wrote the introduction to the English edition of The Aristocratic Rebel. Daniel Tutt studied at American University and the European Graduate School. He teaches in the philosophy department at George Washington University. He reviewed The Aristocratic Rebel for Historical Materialism. Learn more about your ad choices.
