Éthique de l'existence post-capitaliste
Christian Arnsperger - Collection La nuit surveillée
Résumé
--
Shaken by deepening crises that result from its very logic, capitalism is a constant source of surprise, both in its absurdity and its capacity to endure. How can the continuing alienation in our societies be explained, if not by a collective 'fixation' on this destructive logic? And how can the problem be solved? Developing the existential analyses begun in his 'Critique de l'existence capitaliste', Christian Arnsperger responds to one of the most difficult questions of our times: why is it that more and more of us feel that a post-capitalist future is a necessary yet worrying perspective? To such an extent that our political leaders, co-opted into what we must call a capitalist pseudo-democracy, cannot manage to use the machine of the welfare State other than to strengthen the system's hold on our bodies, our souls and our minds. The solution, according to the author, lies in a new civic awareness. We need 'existential militants' capable of breaking away from an economic logic which no longer keeps its promises. This new form of political action is within everyone's grasp, if we accept to call into question the hackneyed principles of capitalism and examine our existences within the system. To redirect our lives according to new principles deeply rethink social-democracy and inaugurate a 'communal' vision of the economy create new 'critical existential communities' while promoting ethics of deliberate simplicity advocating radically equalitarian redistribution and profound democratisation: that is the aim of this constructive and optimistic book. Developing a truly original vision, it belongs to the tradition of existential social critique, alongside such thinkers as E. F. Schumacher, Ivan Illich and André Gorz.
