摘要
The article critically discusses Rahel Jaeggi's recent philosophical contribution to a critical theory of capitalism. The first part reconstructs Jaeggi's account of Lebensform, life-form, that builds up the main ontological framework for addressing and problematizing capitalism intended not as an economic system but as a social whole. The second part focuses on the three different theoretical strategies that Jaeggi puts forward to detect and deal with capitalism's immanent flaws. The third and last part problematizes the metaphysical assumptions and implications of Jaeggi's understanding of life-form and outlines a more dialectical, or "transactional" notion of form of life, which is inspired by Dewey's non-reductionist naturalist method of inquiry. The overall aim is to strengthen the philosophical critique of the capitalist form of life.
