In Hegel's Rabble, Frank Ruda identifies and explores a crucial problem in the Hegelian philosophy of right that strikes at the heart of Hegel's conception of the state. This singular problem, which Ruda argues is the problem of Hegelian political thought, appears in Hegel's text only in a seemingly marginal form under the name of the "rabble": a particular side-effect of the dialectical deduction of the necessity of the existence of state from the contradictory constitution of civil society. Working out from a thorough analysis of this problem and drawing on contemporary discussions in the work of such thinkers as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy and Slavoj Zizek, the book proceeds to re-examine and reconstruct Hegel's entire political project. Ruda goes on to argue that only by re-thinking this problem of the rabble' in Hegel's thought the only problem Hegel is able neither to resolve nor to sublate can the early Marxian conception of the proletariat' be properly understood. The book closes with an Afterword from Slavoj Zizek.

An argument that what is usually dismissed as the “mystical shell” of Hegel''s thought—the concept of absolute knowledge—is actually its most “rational kernel.”
This book sets out from a counterintuitive premise: the “mystical shell” of Hegel''s system proves to be its most “rational kernel.” Hegel''s radicalism is located precisely at the point where his thought seems to regress most. Most current readings try to update Hegel''s thought by pruning back his grandiose claims to “absolute knowing.” Comay and Ruda invert this deflationary gesture by inflating what seems to be most trivial: the absolute is grasped only in the minutiae of its most mundane appearances. Reading Hegel without presupposition, without eliminating anything in advance or making any decision about what is essential and what is inessential, what is living and what is dead, they explore his presentation of the absolute to the letter.
The Dash is organized around a pair of seemingly innocuous details. Hegel punctuates strangely. He ends the Phenomenology of Spirit with a dash, and he begins the Science of Logic with a dash. This distinctive punctuation reveals an ambiguity at the heart of absolute knowing. The dash combines hesitation and acceleration. Its orientation is simultaneously retrospective and prospective. It both holds back and propels. It severs and connects. It demurs and insists. It interrupts and prolongs. It generates nonsequiturs and produces explanations. It leads in all directions: continuation, deviation, meaningless termination. This challenges every cliché about the Hegelian dialectic as a machine of uninterrupted teleological progress. The dialectical movement is, rather, structured by intermittency, interruption, hesitation, blockage, abruption, and random, unpredictable change—a rhythm that displays all the vicissitudes of the Freudian drive.

Pushing back against the contemporary myth that freedom from oppression is freedom of choice, Frank Ruda resuscitates a fundamental lesson from the history of philosophical rationalism: a proper concept of freedom can arise only from a defense of absolute necessity, utter determinism, and predestination.Abolishing Freedom demonstrates how the greatest philosophers of the rationalist tradition and even their theological predecessors-Luther, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Freud-defended not only freedom but also predestination and divine providence. By systematically investigating this mostly overlooked and seemingly paradoxical fact, Ruda demonstrates how real freedom conceptually presupposes the assumption that the worst has always already happened; in short, fatalism. In this brisk and witty interrogation of freedom, Ruda argues that only rationalist fatalism can cure the contemporary sickness whose paradoxical name today is freedom.

For Badiou serves both as an introduction to the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou’s thought and as an in-depth examination of his work. Ruda begins with a thorough and clear outline of the sometimes difficult main tenets of Badiou’s philosophy. He then traces the philosophers throughout Western thought who have influenced Badiou’s project—especially Plato, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx—and on whose work Badiou has developed his provocative philosophy. Ruda draws from Badiou’s oeuvre a series of directives with regard to renewing philosophy for the twenty-first century. For Badiou continues the interrogations of its subject and raises new materialistic and dialectical questions for the next generation of engaged philosophers.

Marx's critique of political economy is vital for understanding the crisis of contemporary capitalism. Yet the nature of its relevance and some of its key tenets remain poorly understood. This bold intervention brings together the work of leading Marx scholars Slavoj iek, Frank Ruda and Agon Hamza, to offer a fresh, radical reinterpretation of Marxism that explains the failures of neoliberalism and lays the foundations for a new emancipatory politics. Avoiding trite comparisons between Marx's worldview and our current political scene, the authors show that the current relevance and value of Marx's thought can better be explained by placing his key ideas in dialogue with those that have attempted to replace them. Reading Marx through Hegel and Lacan, particle physics, and modern political trends, the authors provide new ways to explain the crisis in contemporary capitalism and resist fundamentalism in all its forms. Reading Marx will find a wide audience amongst activists and scholars.

A spirit is haunting contemporary thought – the spirit of Hegel. All the powers of academia have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spirit: Vitalists and Eschatologists, Transcendental Pragmatists and Speculative Realists, Historical Materialists and even ‘liberal Hegelians’.Which of these groups has not been denounced as metaphysically Hegelian by its opponents? And which has not hurled back the branding reproach of Hegelian metaphysics in its turn? Progressives, liberals and reactionaries alike receive this condemnation.In light of this situation, it is high time that true Hegelians should openly admit their allegiance and, without obfuscation, express the importance and validity of Hegelianism to the contemporary intellectual scene.To this end, a small group of Hegelians of different nationalities have assembled to sketch the following book – a book which addresses a number of pressing issues that a contemporary reading of Hegel allows a new perspective on: our relation to the future, our relation to nature and our relation to the absolute.

In capitalism human beings act as if they are mere animals. So we hear repeatedly in the history of modern philosophy. Indifference and Repetition examines how modern philosophy, largely coextensive with a particular boost in capitalism's development, registers the reductive and regressive tendencies produced by capitalism's effect on individuals and society.Ruda examines a problem that has invisibly been shaping the history of modern, especially rationalist philosophical thought, a problem of misunderstanding freedom. Thinkers like Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and Marx claim that there are conceptions and interpretations of freedom that lead the subjects of these interpretations to no longer act and think freely. They are often unwillingly led into unfreedom. It is thus possible that even "freedom" enslaves. Modern philosophical rationalism, whose conceptual genealogy the books traces and unfolds, assigns a name to this peculiar form of domination by means of freedom: indifference. Indifference is a name for the assumption that freedom is something that human beings have: a given, a natural possession. When we think freedom is natural or a possession we lose freedom. Modern philosophy, Ruda shows, takes its shape through repeated attacks on freedom as indifference; it is the owl that begins its flight, so that the days of unfreedom will turn to dusk.

Im Nirgendwo beginnt die Desertion: Fatzer scheißt auf die Ordnung der Welt und seine Kameraden machen es ihm zunächst nach. Brechts Fragment, das vom Untergang des Egoisten Johann Fatzer berichtet, untersucht in immer neuen Ansätzen auch das Verhältnis von (Un-)Ordnung und (Ent-)Ortung sowie ihre Potentialität für die Verhandlung des Kollektiven. So steht der vermeintlichen Offenheit der Straße als eines Orts des Kollektivs und der Menge in Fatzers Rundgang durch Mülheim, mit dem er die Stadt vermisst, die Beengtheit der Kellerwohnung gegenüber, in der die Deserteure auf die Revolution warten und sich an die Gurgel gehen."Die Erkenntnis kann an einem anderen Ort gebraucht werden, als wo sie gefunden wurde." – diese Notiz aus dem Fatzer-Fragment nahm das Symposion der Zweiten Fatzer Tage im Juni 2012 als Einladung, gemeinsam der Verbindung von Räumen, Orten und Kollektiven nachzuforschen. Denn die Frage nach dem Raum und dem Ort ist im Fatzer-Fragment zugleich eine Frage nach dem Kollektiv, seinem Auftritt ebenso wie seiner Abwesenheit oder seiner Konstitution. Brechts Notiz folgend wurde zudem nach den Möglichkeitsräumen gefragt, die sich an der Schnittstelle von gegenwärtigen Aufführungsformen und Brechts vielleicht radikalstem Experiment öffnen. Wo und wie können die Widersprüche, Paradoxien und Spannungen, die Brecht in Fatzer festhält, heute gebraucht und produktiv gemacht werden? Welche Perspektive erlauben neuere theoretische wie praktische Ansätze für die Beschäftigung mit Brechts Text und welche Perspektiven eröffnet dieser für die Gegenwart?Der zweite Band der Mülheimer Fatzerbücher – Räume, Orte, Kollektive – gibt das Symposion der Fatzer Tage 2012 sowie weitergehende Überlegungen wieder und dokumentiert ausführlich die während des Festivals gezeigten Aufführungen: Kill Your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia von René Pollesch, die norwegische Fatzer-Inszenierung von Tore Vagn Lid und Wessen Stadt ist die Stadt? Ein Aufstand von LIGNA.

La crítica de Marx a la economía política es vital para entender la crisis del capitalismo contemporáneo. Sin embargo, la naturaleza de su relevancia y algunos de sus principios clave siguen siendo poco conocidos. Esta iluminadora obra une el trabajo de tres de los más importantes estudiosos de Karl Marx –Slavoj Žižek, Agon Hamza y Frank Ruda–, para ofrecer una nueva y radical reinterpretación del marxismo que explica los fracasos del neoliberalismo y sienta las bases de una nueva política emancipadora. Evitando las triviales comparaciones entre la visión del mundo de Karl Marx y nuestra escena política, los autores muestran que la relevancia actual y el valor del pensamiento de Marx se pueden explicar mejor al poner sus principales ideas en diálogo con aquellos que han intentado reemplazarlas. Leyendo a Marx a través de Hegel y Lacan, de la física de partículas y de las tendencias políticas modernas, los autores proporcionan nuevas formas de explicar la crisis en el capitalismo contemporáneo y resistir al fundamentalismo en todas sus formas.«Leer a Marx no es solo una llamada a ver la renovada importancia de Marx en la actualidad; también revela la potencia de la intersección entre la filosofía y Marx. Presenta revelaciones en cada página que apuntan hacia cómo podríamos pensar un marxismo filosófico». Todd McGowan, Universidad de Vermont«Los autores de este oportuno libro invierten el enfoque convencional de entender a Marx criticando a Hegel; parten de Marx y luego se dirigen a Hegel. De este modo abren todo un nuevo horizonte intelectual». Kojin Karatani, Universidad de Columbia

The present book brings together a series of interventions concerning pressing political, ideological and organizational issues of the contemporary situation, edited by Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda. These texts were written in a very specific political conjuncture: some during the time when Álvaro García Linera was serving as a vice-president of Bolivia, others in the period after the coup d’état of November 2019. The chapters in this book are dealing with social movements and different forms of political and subjective autonomy in Bolivia; with democracy and its function in late capitalism; with the discrepancy between national and capitalist spaces; with the Russian October Revolution as an event, and its resonances in other parts of the world; with the concept and function of the state; and, finally, with the idea of communism in its relation to necessity and contingency. At the end, the book presents a long and detailed conversation between Linera and Hamza and Ruda, as well as an afterword written by Slavoj Žižek.
