The workshop revisits Marx’s seminal critique of political economy in Capital and The Grundrisse. It aims to understand the contemporary re-appropriation of Marx through value theory approach (Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Moushe Postone, Kojin Karatani) and point to some of the breakthroughs and limitations that these different trajectories of the value theory approach raise (Hegelian reading of Marx, Kantian reading of Marx). The paradoxes of time, value and money form will be discussed throught the reading discussion of a number of texts. Understanding Marx in relation to Hegel and Kant, the workshop aims to hone a historical, philosophical, and political conception dialectics.
Participation is free and open to the public. Please email to info@bicar-lebanon.org if you are interested to participate. Readings will be circulated upon request.
