In this talk I seek to reclaim Karl Marx’s distinction in Volume I of Capital between what, following Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, we might call the “conceptual personae” of living and dead labor. For example, in chapter ten on “The Working Day,” Marx memorably and hauntingly observes that “Capital is dead labour which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.” My aim is to make visible an important implied feature of Marx’s ethics (as opposed to his moral philosophy) of flourishing. Along the way, I draw on, as well as propose an ethical supplement to, William Clare Roberts’s recent reconstruction of Marx’s political theory in Capital . Moreover, I argue that such a supplement ought to be grounded in the human and nonhuman life-values that, as John McMurtry and Jeff Noonan have compellingly argued, are ceaselessly undermined by the capitalist mode of production. To be precise, in the concluding words of chapter fifteen on “Machinery and Large-Scale Industry,” Marx insists that “capitalist production … only develops the techniques and the degree of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.” In the twenty-first century, I suggest, we should expand on Marx’s point and speak of the capitalist assault on both humanity and the Earth System. As an ethical alternative to G. A. Cohen’s call for an “egalitarian ethos,” I conclude my talk by urging socialists to embrace and cultivate an “ethos of non-domination” in everyday life.
在这次演讲中，我试图重申卡尔·马克思在《资本论》第一卷中对吉尔·德勒兹(Gilles Deleuze)和菲利克斯·瓜塔里(Felix Guattari)的区分，我们可以称之为活劳动和死劳动的“概念人格”。例如，在《工作日》第十章中，马克思指出:“资本是死劳动，它像吸血鬼一样，只有吮吸活劳动才有生命，而且吮吸的活劳动越多，它就活得越多。”我的目的是让人们看到马克思关于繁荣的伦理学(与他的道德哲学相反)中隐含的一个重要特征。在此过程中，我借鉴了威廉·克莱尔·罗伯茨(William Clare Roberts)最近在《资本论》中对马克思政治理论的重构，并提出了一个伦理补充。此外，我认为这种补充应该以人类和非人类的生命价值为基础，正如约翰·麦克默特里和杰夫·努南令人信服地指出的那样，这些价值不断地被资本主义生产方式所破坏。确切地说，在第十五章“机器和大工业”的结语中，马克思坚持认为“资本主义生产……只有通过同时破坏一切财富的原始源泉——土地和工人，才能发展社会生产过程的技术和程度。”在21世纪，我建议，我们应该扩展马克思的观点，谈论资本主义对人类和地球系统的攻击。作为g·a·科恩(G. A. Cohen)呼吁的“平等主义精神”的伦理选择，我在演讲的最后敦促社会主义者在日常生活中拥抱和培养一种“非统治精神”。

In this article I situate and make sense of Jean Baudrillard’s writings regarding “hyperreality” and then consider Slavoj Žižek’s insistence on the “reality of the virtual” as opposed to “virtual reality.” I argue that Baudrillard has offered a contemporary, inverted variation on Leibniz’s classical idealist position, whereas Žižek has followed a dialectical materialist course charted especially by Ernst Bloch. Finally, I contend that there remain contradictions of hyperreality itself that constitute a domain of virtual dialectics. I see where [Žižek is] coming from, his vision of things, a particular kind of perception. I share the “feeling” of what he writes, whilst not agreeing with him at all. You can question it all: he wants to keep a sort of dialectic, there’s still Marxism in there somewhere. He works with Jameson and people like him, with American neo-Marxists. Not forgetting the form of Lacanian real he uses. All of that is mixed in together, and there are all sorts of strange complexities. I don’t know whether you can separate it all out, but it’s very interesting – being very much in phase and also totally out of phase. Jean Baudrillard 1. From Leibniz to Baudrillard In section eight of his Discourse on Metaphysics (1686) G.W. Leibniz asserts that all true predication has some basis in the nature of things and that, when a proposition is not an identity, that is, when the predicate is not explicitly contained in the subject, it Special Issue: Baudrillard and Žižek

http://ctt.canterbury.ac.nz Abstract: My focus is on the Biblical prophetic warning about, and solution to, severe debt injustice – whether individual or collective. I seek to demonstrate the New Testament’s continuity with the Jubilee theme of economic justice and debt cancellation laid out in the Hebrew Scriptures. In particular, I argue that Paul of Tarsus well understood the economic difficulties faced by wage laborers in the first-century Roman Empire and the all-too-real possibility of debt bondage, and – through his collection “for the poor among the consecrated at Jerusalem” – devised a creative means to reclaim the Biblical tradition of debt cancellation. In short, Paul envisioned what we could call a “gift economy” based not only on mutuality but also, and especially, on addressing the needs of the weak, vulnerable, and poor.
