Neuware - Where do the obsessions of the present come from What is this strange version of 'Social Justice' coming from the United States Will pronouns save the world And why do those who speak of common sense seem neither common nor sensible From Ulysses to Hiro Onoda, this book unveils the origins of woke culture, its irrational excesses, and how its obsession with conflict has resurrected the worst authoritarian instincts of the last century.In Zombies of Marx: The Return of Practical Reason, Davide Smith Borrelli embarks on a provocative journey through the intertwined legacies of Marxism, postmodernism, and deconstruction. With a bold stance, he exposes the philosophical and cultural shifts that have turned a revolutionary ideal into an 'army of walking dead' intellectuals, prophets of irrationalism.This book challenges the self-proclaimed moral authority of academia and its descent into a culture of hysteria, identity politics, and pseudoscientific dogmas. With sharp wit and unwavering honesty, Borrelli critiques the spread of Deconstructed Social Justice, a movement that has replaced rigorous inquiry with moralistic fanfare and nostalgic fantasies of a lost utopia.Drawing inspiration from Derrida's Specters of Marx, Borrelli traces the genealogy of contemporary intellectual activism: from the collapse of Soviet communism to the rise of ethical fanaticism in the West. He analyzes how academia's obsession with power and authority has polarized public debate, undermining the value of individual freedom.At once a polemical critique and a call to action, Zombies of Marx urges readers to reconsider the role of intellectuals in society and to rediscover the true purpose of knowledge: not to manipulate, but to enlighten.For those unafraid to challenge dogmas-whether Marxist, postmodern, or otherwise-this book is a bold exploration of the conflicts shaping the modern world.Are you ready to confront the walking dead of thought. …

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Where do the obsessions of our time come from? What is this strange version of "social justice" imported from the United States? How did Marxism survive the collapse of the Soviet Union? And why do those who invoke "common sense" so often seem to possess neither common sense nor good judgment?From Ulysses to Hiroo Onoda, this book explores the intellectual roots of modern culture and some of its most irrational developments. In Zombies of Marx, Davide Smith Borrelli traces the evolution of Marxist thought, exposing the theoretical drift that transformed many of its heirs into "zombies" intellectuals who abandoned the pursuit of emancipation through knowledge in favor of moralistic zeal and ideological conformity.Inspired by Specters of Marx by Jacques Derrida, Borrelli reconstructs the genealogy of contemporary intellectual activism-from the collapse of Soviet communism to the rise of moralized political discourse in the West. He shows how academic preoccupations with power, identity, and authority have increasingly polarized public debate while eroding the values of reason, individual freedom, and open inquiry.Part intellectual history, part cultural criticism, and part philosophical essay, Zombies of Marx is both a sharp critique and a call to recover the original purpose of knowledge: not to manipulate minds, but to illuminate them.This book is for readers who are willing to question dogma, challenge fashionable certainties, and confront the intellectual conflicts shaping the modern world.
