critique of capitalism, critical theory, Rahel Jaeggi, political critique, economic heteronomyAbstract
In this paper, I underline the renewal of the critique of capitalism by contemporary critical theorists Albena Azmanova, Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi (1). Then, I highlight that what distinguishes Rahel Jaeggi is a metatheoretical elaboration aimed at ethically deepening the functional and moral dimensions of the critique of capitalism (2). Finally, I maintain that, Rahel Jaeggi’s achievements notwithstanding, politically furthering the critique of capitalism is necessary to show how capitalism is, rather than a purely economic, economically ineluctable order, a political-economic arrangement that both casts a spell on the capitalist relations of production and naturalizes economic heteronomy (3).
