This paper argues that among all the concepts deployed by Marx \u2018subsumption\u2019 is key with respect to this issue. The different forms of capitalist subsumption analysed by Marx designate the mechanisms by which capital shapes the developmental dynamics of modern societies. Yet the concept is undertheorized in Marx\u2019s writings and has been subject to divergent interpretations. Its implications remain contested. By returning to the philosophical origins of subsumption, in particular to Kant\u2019s \u2018critical\u2019 reconceptualisation of it as a productive act of \u2018synthetic determination\u2019, this paper seeks to establish its centrality for Marxist thought. Subsumption, it is argued, is the fundamental category of analysis linking capital as system to capital as history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Andr\u00e9s Saenz de Sicilia Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London | UNAM Capitalism as System and History: On Marx\u2019s Theory of Subsumption 22 March 2022, 17h00 (Lisbon Time \u2013 GMT+0) Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Room C201.J \u2013 Department of Philosophy) | School of Arts and Humanities \u2013 University of Lisbon Abstract One of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2455"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2463,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2455\/revisions\/2463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/praxis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
