So it’s time to take stock and wind-up this very long thread (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) on Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence and readings of Marx around it (I know the title promises Foucault. That turns out to be a minor part of how this developed, but I’ll say a little…

I’m most of the way through a long series (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight) on Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence and his reading of Marx. Last time, I started on his reading of Marx in Logic and Existence.  As I noted, although the book involves a reorientation away from the Phenomenology and to…

I’ve been pursuing a long thread (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven) on the importance of Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence, and his reading of Marx.  Doing so has involved excavating a lot of historical context, as reading Marx in particular was indissociable from both the reception of his recently published early writings and debates…

I’ve been working out a reading of the Hegel-Marx relation via Hyppolite in the early 1950s.  In previous installments (one, two, three, four, five, six), I’ve tried to develop a lot of the background for why the appearance of Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence in 1953 was so important in that context.  Last time, I made…

I’ve been working out some of the context for Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence and why it might matter for a reading of Marx (one, two, three, four).  Last time, I started a look at Hyppolite’s late 1940s reading of Marx; today I want to finish that.  Last time, I looked at (a) The line Althusser…

I’ve been working out some of the context for Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence and why it might matter for a reading of Marx (one, two, three).  Last time, I looked at Althusser’s 1950 (anonymously published) critique of the use of Hegel in understanding Marx, an essay that seems to be particularly aggrieved by Hyppolite’s work…

I’m working out a thread (part 1, part 2) suggesting that that Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence (1953), which reads Hegel through the Logic and not the Phenomenology, and thereby pushes a non-humanist reading of Hegel, mattered for the French reading of Marx, which hinged on whether Marx inherited humanism or anthropology from Hegel.  I then…

Last time, I started a thread on Hyppolite’s Logic and Existence (1953) and its non-humanist reading of Hegel, and how that bears on Marx interpretation.  The first step was to set some context, since Marx interpretation is always perilous, and was especially so during the 1950s, given the political demands of the French Communist Party…

One of Monday’s Supreme Court rulings, Chatrie v. U.S., has flown under the radar, but I think it’s a potentially important privacy case.  The case concerns the police practice of geofenced searches, in which the police would map out an area, usually a specified radius around a crime scene, and demand all of the cellphone…
