Marx on alienation vs estrangement in Hegel
Last time, I took a detour into the construction of the Molitor edition of Marx’s works, which the evidence says Foucault was reading in the 1950s when he took extensive notes on Marx. A question that came out of that is whether/how Marx distinguishes Entausserung (“alienation”)…

Rabbit hole of the week: On the Molitor edition of Marx
Foucault’s Question Anthropologique, a course on anthropology that he gave at Lille in 1954-5, contains a detailed reading of Marx. Foucault’s unpublished papers contain detailed notes on Marx from roughly the same period, as Jean-Baptiste Vuillerod indicates. The notes help…

Kill Bots and the Epistemic Risk of Automated Weapons Systems
Rebecca Crootof has a current paper on what she calls the “kill box” problem for autonomous weapon systems. It shows just how difficult it is to translate traditional just war values and laws into an AI context. Basically, one of the most important rules for warfare is that you…

Foucault, Hyppolite and Marx (part 10): From Hyppolite to Althusser to Hyppolite
So it’s time to take stock and wind-up this very long thread (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) on Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence and readings of Marx around it (I know the title promises Foucault. That turns out to be a minor part of how this developed, but…

Foucault, Hyppolite and Marx (part 9): Alienation and Historicity in Logic and Existence

Foucault, Hyppolite and Marx (part 8): The Marx of Logic and Existence
I’ve been pursuing a long thread (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven) on the importance of Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence, and his reading of Marx. Doing so has involved excavating a lot of historical context, as reading Marx in particular was indissociable from both the…

Foucault, Hyppolite and Marx (part 7): Hegel via Heidegger
I’ve been working out a reading of the Hegel-Marx relation via Hyppolite in the early 1950s. In previous installments (one, two, three, four, five, six), I’ve tried to develop a lot of the background for why the appearance of Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence in 1953 was so…

Foucault, Hyppolite and Marx (part 6): Logic and Existence, Nature and Subject
I’ve been working out a reading of the Hegel-Marx relation via Hyppolite in the early 1950s. In previous installments (one, two, three, four, five), I’ve tried to develop a lot of the context for why the appearance of Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence in 1953 was so important in…
