Description

21st Century Materialism June 20-21, 2009 MaMa, Zagreb, Croatia materialism.mi2.hr

Speakers: Miran Božovič, Graham Harman, Martin Hägglund & Peter Hallward

Audio: boo.mi2.hr/~tom/Materialism/


A century has passed since the 1909 publication of Materialism and Empirio-Criticism, a text in which Lenin responded to the supposed “disappearance of matter” in physical theory by attempting to clarify the stakes of philosophical materialism. He did so by interrogating the consequences of contemporary positions on elementary philosophical questions: Is being prior to thought? Can we establish the adequacy of thought and sensation to material objects independent of thought and sensation? Is it possible to reduce the operations of thinking to material processes? Is “matter” a philosophical or scientific concept? What is the relation between philosophical materialism and political praxis?

These questions continue to agitate contemporary thought, but they are no longer the “same” questions: their significance has been transformed by a century of political, scientific, and philosophical interventions. This symposium is dedicated to reassessing their stakes for 21st century philosophy and politics.

Dialectical. Historical. Transcendental. Non-Philosophical. Eliminative. Speculative. _________________. Somethingcalled “materialism” continues to demand that we take a position.
