Daniel Tutt on Anti-Work and Gorz's Farewell to the Working Class (Dave and Nance play defense!)
Daniel Tutt caught a lot of heat for this tweet: https://twitter.com/DanielTutt/status/1709675340681896247
We thought the responses were not fair, but also, while we agree with Tutt's general points about the New Left, he's not doing Gorz himself justice. So we have a conversation about it! Join us.
Daniel Tutt, Ph.D., is a philosopher and socialist. His writing and research concerns psychoanalysis, politics and new directions in Marxist and Nietzschean thought. He has taught philosophy at George Washington University, the Washington, DC jail and Marymount University. Tutt is host of Emancipations Podcast and he founded Study Groups on Psychoanalysis and Politics, an extra-academic community that offers affordable seminars and study groups for students and the wider public. He is currently writing a book on the legacy of left-Nietzschean thought and socialism called How to Read Like a Parasite: What the Left Needs to Know About Nietzsche which will be published in February 2024 by Repeater Books. His first book is Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family and is published with the Palgrave Lacan Series and came out in 2022.
David McKerracher (M.A. in critical theory and B.A. in philosophy) is the sole founder and organizer of Theory Underground, an independent philosophy lecture course platform, publishing house, and social media APP. He is the author of Waypoint and TIMENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy, and one of the co-editors of Underground Theory. Born in the city but raised on a homestead in the woods, McKerracher has always been an outsider looking in, trying to understand himself and the world. Loves cats, coffee, and timenergy! At Theory Underground, McKerracher teaches Heidegger's Being and Time, Marx's Das Kapital, and leads a cohort of researchers in Critical Media Theory.
Bryce Nance is one of the most involved students at Theory Underground, a huge supporter, and the number 1 roadie at TU. He likes to skateboard, listen to books, and study philosophy. He is a malcontent who believes study as a way of life helps him become less sucky, which is why he joins Dave for so many long-form exegetical readings. Check out his piece in Underground Theory!
