A political economy of systemic destruction
Phenomenal waste has surfaced as the social form and substance of value. In capital’s totalizing process, which commodifies all that comes in its way, wasting classes consume the wasted classes. This book addresses the metamorphosis of value into waste and it focuses on wars as industries of perfect waste. Whereas wasted man is visibly the prevalent commodity on sale, this central element in the commodity relation is rarely mentioned. In line with this, the book examines how waste, as a surrogate value, eludes the crises of capital and maintains its resilience.

The Historical Materialism Book Series is a major publishing initiative of the radical left. The capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century has been met by a resurgence of interest in critical Marxist theory. At the same time, the publishing institutions committed to Marxism have contracted markedly since the high point of the 1970s. The Historical Materialism Book Series is dedicated to addressing this situation by making available important works of Marxist theory. The aim of the series is to publish important theoretical contributions as the basis for vigorous intellectual debate and exchange on the left. We are convinced that a project of this kind can make an important contribution to the revitalisation of critical politics and intellectual culture.
The peer-reviewed series publishes original monographs, translated texts and reprints of ‘classics’ across the bounds of academic disciplinary agendas, and across the divisions of the left. The series is particularly concerned to encourage the internationalisation of Marxist debate, and aims to translate significant studies from beyond the English speaking world. We have previously published important studies of Marxist thinkers, key collections of sources from the socialist movement, works of philosophy, history and literary criticism, as well as political and economic studies. Future publication plans include texts in the fields of cultural and aesthetic theory, sociology and geography.
The Historical Materialism Book Series will expand significantly over the coming years with substantial and important books in all areas of Marxist theory. We are undertaking a project of publishing previously untranslated texts by Marx, long unavailable debates from the 2nd and 3rd Internationals, and English editions of important studies from the post war period. Equally significantly, we also aim to publish the work of the emerging generation of Marxist scholars and theorists. The Historical Materialism Book Series intends to be at the forefront of radical publishing for the coming period with a commitment to rigorous intellectual work produced within the many Marxist traditions.

Idealization is a subseries of Poznań Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities.
Schriftenreihe des Franz Rosenzweig Minerva-Forschungszentrums für deutsch-jüdische Literatur und Kulturgeschichte an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem
Makom, die Schriftenreihe des Franz Rosenzweig-Forschungszentrums für deutsch-jüdische Literatur und Kulturgeschichte an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem, wird herausgegeben von Benjamin Pollock. In der jüdischen Überlieferung ist der Begriff Makom ("Ort") einer der Namen Gottes, bezeichnet aber zugleich den Raum der schriftlichen und mündlichen Tradition. Die Veröffentlichungen der Reihe sollen zum fortdauernden Kommentar dieser Tradition beitragen. Aufgenommen werden zum einen Bände, die zentrale Erfahrungen des deutschen Judentums dokumentieren oder sie im Rahmen der neueren deutschen Kulturgeschichte analysieren. Da die Werke deutscher Juden stets auch ein Spiegel für übergreifende Phänomene der europäischen Moderne waren, werden zum anderen Texte in der Reihe veröffentlicht, die sich mit Themen wie kulturelle Erinnerung, Assimilation oder Säkularisation beschäftigen.
Die Reihe versammelt Beiträge einer losen Reihe von interdisziplinären Veranstaltungen zum Problem der Repräsentation. Fragestellungen, die in einzelwissenschaftlichen Grenzbezirken aufbrechen, werden aufgegriffen und mit der Philosophie ins Gespräch gebracht.
Repräsentation ist ein klassisches Thema der Philosophie. Umso mehr gilt es da, diese immer wieder neu für Fragen nach den Repräsentationen zu interessieren, für Fragen nach deren konkreter Gestalt und einzelwissenschaftlicher Aktualität. Mit dem Kontrast der Standpunkte eines jeden Gesprächs zwischen den Disziplinen wird auch ein Stück Wissenschaftsgeschichte umgeschrieben.
From Vol. 9 onwards series no longer published by Editions Rodopi.

The principal task of the book series Poznań Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities is to promote those developments in philosophy that respect the tradition of great philosophical ideas, on the one hand, and the manner of philosophical thinking introduced by analytical philosophy, on the other. One of the standing aims of the series in the past has been to provide a forum of exchange of ideas between philosophers of both sides of the Iron Curtain. The series publishes guest-edited volumes devoted to the philosophy of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities as well as to foundational topics in metaphysics, epistemology and social philosophy.
Poznań Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities is partly sponsored by the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Warsaw.
