STOP THIEF! - CATHERINE MALABOU KARTONIERT (TB)

There's no shame in a continental philosopher saying they are a Marxist  but it's almost
impossible to admit to being an anarchist. Silently  perhaps even unknowingly  philosophical
anarchism borrows its definition from political anarchism  but the two remain strangers to each
other. What do Reiner Schürmann  Emmanuel Levinas  Jacques Derrida  Michel Foucault  Giorgio
Agamben and Jacques Rancière have in common? Each of them ascribed a determining ontological 
ethical  or political value to anarchy - yet not a single one ever called themselves an
anarchist. It is as if anarchism were unmentionable and had to be concealed  even though its
critique of domination and of government is poached by the philosophers. In a semantic
revolution  anarchists redefined anarchy not as disorder but as organization free of the
governmental prejudice. Without this definition - taken directly from political anarchist
Joseph Proudhon - none of the philosophical concepts of anarchy would have been possible. Stop
Thief! Anarchism and Philosophy calls out the plundering of anarchism by philosophy. It's a
call that is all the more resonant today as the planetary demand for an alternative political
realm raises a deafening cry. It also alerts us to a new philosophical awakening. Catherine
Malabou proposes to answer the cry by re-elaborating a concept of anarchy articulated around a
notion of the non-governable far beyond an inciting of disobedience or common critiques of
capitalism. Anarchism is the only way out  the only pathway that allows us to question the
legitimacy of political domination and to unsettle our confidence that we need to be led if we
are to survive.
