| description | John Holloway's book is an admirable essay, full of suggestive ideas and truly radical – in the sense original term: “getting to the root of the problems”. Whatever its gaps and imperfections, it shows, in an exemplary way, the subversive and critical power of negativity. Its goal is ambitious and current: “to refine and sharpen the Marxist critique of capitalism”. The fundamental philosophical chapters deal with fetishism and fetishization. They are creatively based on Marx, Lukács and Adorno. Holloway defines fetishism as the separation of doing and doing and the breaking of the collective flow of doing. This is a fertile point of view, but Holloway apparently identifies all forms of objectivity with fetishism. For example, he complains that in capitalism “the constituted object acquires a durable identity.” |

Quaisquer que sejam suas lacunas e imperfeições, mostra, de um modo exemplar, o poder subversivo e crítico da negatividade. Sua meta é ambiciosa e atual: “refinar e aguçar a crítica marxista ao capitalismo”. Os capítulos filosóficos fundamentais tratam do fetichismo e da fetichização. Baseiam-se criativamente em Marx, Lukács e Adorno. Holloway define o fetichismo como a separação do fazer e do feito e a quebra do fluxo coletivo do fazer. Este é um ponto de vista fértil, mas Holloway aparentemente identifica todas as formas de objetividade com o fetichismo. Por exemplo, ele se queixa de que no capitalismo “o objeto constituído adquire uma identidade durável”. Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
