Resignation and Ecstasy: The Moral Geometry of Collective Self-Destruction—Volume Three of Sacrifice and Self-Defeat
Marx meets Durkheim in an effort to reconstitute both sociology and psychoanalysis. Once again, for the first time, Marx and Durkheim join forces while exploring the moral economy of neoliberalism. Resignation and Ecstasy provides a fresh perspective on the immortal vortex of sacred energies pulsating beneath the peculiar logic of modern accumulation. Relying on dialectical methods, classical sociology and psychoanalysis are reconstituted within an Hegelian social ontology to differentiate the ephemeral from the eternal aspects of social life.
