Deepening the analysis between Debord and Marx by revealing the centrality of Hegel's speculative logic to both, he traces Debord's intellectual debt to Hegel in a way that treads new ground for critical theory. Drawing extensively from \u003ci\u003eThe Phenomenology of Spirit \u003c\/i\u003e(1807) and \u003ci\u003eScience of Logic\u003c\/i\u003e (1812), this book illustrates the lasting impact of Debord's critical theory of 20th-century capitalism and reveals new possibilities for the critique of capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpectacular Logic in Hegel and Debord\u003c\/i\u003e both contributes to this restoration and offers some revisions of the studies that preceded it. But in doing so, it provides far more than a mere analysis of Hegel’s influence on Debord. * Marx \u0026amp; Philosophy Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eEric-John Russell is a brilliant and ingenious young writer and critic who needs and deserves to be heard; it takes courage to listen. Find it. * Robert Hullot-Kentor, Founding Chair, Critical Theory and the Arts, School of Visual Arts, New York, USA *\u003cbr\u003eDebord was at risk of getting reduced to a media theorist or an appendix to historical avant-gardes, fashionable and superseded at the same time. Russell's book helps to put Debord in his right place in the history of critical thought, especially by pointing out his advancement of Hegel's philosophy. By utilizing hitherto unpublished material from the Guy Debord archive at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Russell upholds with exacting detail and formidable prowess Debord's concept of the spectacle as a critical theory of society. * Anselm Jappe, Professor of Philosophy, Accademia di Belle Arti di Sassari, Italy *\u003cbr\u003eThis book makes a serious and valuable contribution to the study of Debord’s work. It demonstrates that his theory of ‘spectacle’ is not just a critique of the mass media, but rather a nuanced Hegelian social ontology that echoes some of the Frankfurt School’s central concerns.
