Abstract

ORTEGA, Jaime. The rift, anti-politics and value: critique of abstract labor and money in the writings of John Holloway. Rev. Pilquen. secc. cienc. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.4, pp.97-108. ISSN 1851-3123.

In recent years the "critical theory of society" received a boost from the work of John Holloway. However, this update of an aspect widely known in social thought has had to dialogue and negotiate with other perspectives. Holloway's work becomes a subject of study insofar as it allows us to think of concepts and categories that modify the theoretical space from which it starts, thereby configuring the passage from a theory of capitalist society to a theory against society. To what extent this purpose is achieved and what are the routes that are covered, is the central theme of this text.
