Exploring Marx's concept of phantasmagoria, this collection of essays delves into the "magical lantern" that shapes our perception of modern capitalist societies. Each chapter offers a philosophical reflection on how these eerie images influence social theory and critique. Originally published in Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory, the essays provide a profound analysis of Marxist philosophy, making connections between theory and contemporary issues.
