Descrição: What follows is an exploration of the decadence imposed on contemporary political life and the stifling of the imagination it occasions. Much of this emerges not only from the assertion of capitalism as the age's theodicy but also its accompanying normative liberalism turned neoliberalism on the road to neoconservatism and fascism. The result is morality collapsing into moralism at the price also of political life. What would it mean to think the political under such circumstances? I will argue it means also committing a teleological suspension of epistemology through a commitment to the demands of a world that transcends the self. One must act, in other words, on the basis of what one cannot know.
