Description
We discuss chapter 3 of Mute Compulsion – The Social Ontology of Economic Power – and get into questions about the structure of social reality, why it is necessary to crack into these philosophical questions, how theories of social ontology form the whole basis of political ideologies and programs like neoliberalism and communism, why critiques of capitalism / technology based on ideas of human nature are common, easy, and weak, and why we need to build our critical theories on an ontology of social relations, not natural essence.
