Spectacular Logic in Hegel and Debord

Revisiting Guy Debords seminal work, The Society of the Spectacle (1967), Eric-John Russell breathes new life into a text which directly preceded and informed the revolutionary fervour of May 1968. Deepening the analysis between Debord and Marx by revealing the centrality of Hegels speculative logic to both, he traces Debords intellectual debt to Hegel in a way that treads new ground for critical theory. Drawing extensively from The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) and Science of Logic (1812), this book illustrates the lasting impact of Debords critical theory of 20th-century capitalism and reveals new possibilities for the critique of capitalism.
