Lewis Call - Thought

Thought

For more details on this topic, see Post-anarchism.

Call is credited along with Saul Newman and Todd May with developing postanarchism from its roots in French postmodern and classical anarchist thought. Call has attempted to develop post-anarchist theory through the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, rejecting the Cartesian concept of the "subject". From here a radical form of anarchism is made possible; the anarchism of becoming. This anarchism does not have an eventual goal, nor flow into "being", it is not a final state of development, nor a static form of society, but rather becomes permanent, as a means without end. Call critiques liberal notions of language, consciousness, and rationality from an anarchist perspective, arguing that they are inherent in economic and political power within the capitalist state organization.

Call's other research interests include intellectual history, science fiction studies, and the history of erotic power.
