Abstract
Argues that materialism is a political concept precisely because it bears on what is political in metaphysics in general, metaphysics being understood here a as the exercise in constructing and exploring conceptual consistencies. Balibar’s work constantly maintains the two requirements that we cannot do away with metaphysics, while metaphysics cannot do away with politics.
