Człowieku, w Twojej głowie straszy! Derrida o duchach późnego kapitalizmu
Man, Your Head is Haunted! Derrida on the Ghosts of Late Capitalism

Summary/Abstract: In 1993, Jacques Derrida published his book "Spectres de Marx". Commentary accompanying its release focused on the issue of the originality, or lack thereof, of the “Derridian” exegesis of Marx and the search in the French philosopher’s text for prescriptions for politics in the present day. In my essay, I assert that from the perspective of the twenty years that have passed since the release of "Spectres of Marx", two theoretical aspects of Derrida’s book have survived the test of time: 1) the problem of the “spectral” presence of ideas dominated by a cult of action and the power of social life in late modernity, 2) the still poorly diagnosed problem of the theological and religious foundations of modern capitalism revealed by Derrida in his writings on Marx.
