Where do the obsessions of our time come from?
What is this strange version of “social justice” imported from the United States?
Will pronouns really save the world?
And why do those who invoke “common sense” so often appear neither common nor sensible? From Ulysses to Hiroo Onoda, this book explores the roots of modern culture and its most irrational turns.
In Zombies of Marx, Davide Smith Borrelli traces the evolution of Marxist thought, exposing the theoretical drift that has turned many of its heirs into “zombies”: intellectuals who have replaced the ambition to emancipate through knowledge with empty moralistic fanaticism.
Inspired by Specters of Marx by Derrida, Borrelli reconstructs the genealogy of contemporary intellectual activism—from the collapse of Soviet communism to the rise of moralized discourse in the West—showing how academic obsessions with power and authority have polarized public debate and undermined the value of individual freedom.
Both a radical critique and a call to reason, Zombies of Marx invites readers to rethink the role of the intellectual in society and to rediscover the true purpose of knowledge: not to manipulate, but to illuminate.
This book is for those who are not afraid to question dogma and confront the conflicts shaping the modern world.
