    A return of barbarism.Artemy Magun - 2022 - Studies in East European Thought 74 (4):483-492.
    This article discusses the 2022 war from the point of view of its well-documented savagery. It addresses philosophical discussions of barbarism and gives a dialectical explanation of this phenomenon through the gradual polarization between the forces of Enlightenment and the obstinacy of the subject. This clash has a double shape: formality versus materiality and morality versus happiness.

    Karl Marx and Hannah Arendt on the Jewish question: political theology as a critique.Artemy Magun - 2012 - Continental Philosophy Review 45 (4):545-568.
    The article is dedicated to the politico-theological critique of Judaism from the position of Christianity. It shows the affinity of Marx’s early critique of liberal state and of Hannah Arendt’s criticism of formal legalistic thinking in the contemporary judicial treatment of Nazism (and of similar international political crimes). Marx’s critique of nation-state finds its unlikely continuation in Arendt’s critique of international law. The politico-theological argument is explicit in Marx and implicit in Arendt, but both develop the Hegelian criticism of liberal (...)

    Negativity in Communism: Ontology and Politics.Artemy Magun - 2014 - Russian Sociological Review 13 (1):9-25.
    The article addresses the notion of communism with a special angle of factuality and negativity, and not in the usual sense of a futurist utopia. After considering the main contemporary theories of communism in left-leaning political thought, the author turns to the Soviet experience of an “actually existing communism.” Apart from and against the bureaucratic state, a social reality existed organized around res nullius, that is, an unappropriated world that was not a collective property, as in the case of res (...)

    Conservatism and the dialectic of ideology.Artemy Magun - forthcoming - Studies in East European Thought:1-9.
    This essay applies the dialectical method to the phenomenon of conservatism by putting it into a coherent system of modern ideologies. It draws attention to three groups of dialectical phenomena: the mutual reflection of modern ideologies in each other, which leads to the partial syntheses of their hybridization; the dialectic of form and content that changes situational conservatism into a substantive one, and vice versa, and the historical dialectic of progress and regress that makes conservatism constituent of many modern institutions (...)

    Guilty of goodness? Or innocently good?Artemy Magun - 2022 - Studies in East European Thought 74 (4):553-556.
    This roundtable intervention explores the question of collective guilt in the case of Russia’s war with Ukraine. Psychoanalytic analysis of guilt is added here to the traditional discussions of concrete and generalized responsibility of the individual for the actions of her government. An affirmative, good-oriented ethic is promoted, in contrast to the evil-centered ethic. A group guilt of intelligentsia is found in its cultural and economic domination within the Russian society, which has led to an unfortunate separation between the nationalist (...)

    Lenin on democratic theory.Artemy Magun - 2018 - Studies in East European Thought 70 (2-3):141-152.
    Lenin’s State and Revolution is not only a project for imminent revolutionary policy and not only a legitimization argument for a revolutionary dictatorship, but also a theory of state and theory of democracy. Lenin points at the reduplication of state organs that is inherent in a democratic state. While the Russian revolutionary thinks of this reduplication as something transitory, we today increasingly see it as a durable condition coterminous with the late-modern democratic state. I use Lenin’s treatise as a point (...)

    Politics of the One: Concepts of the One and Many in Contemporary Thought.Artemy Magun (ed.) - 2012 - Bloomsbury Academic.
    This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series examines one of the most important topics in contemporary political theory: how to conceptualize the relationship between the one and the many. The essays discuss how to reconcile multiple ontologies without subsuming them to a totalitarian unity. While one school of thought seeks to create a new ontology based on the many instead of the one,, another proposes to understand the "one" as the "ultra-one" of the event. In this groundbreaking (...)

    Roundtable: Q&A discussion.Artemy Magun, Kate Khan, Lina Bulakhova, Anastasia Merzenina, Artem Serebryakov & Oleg Aronson - 2022 - Studies in East European Thought 74 (4):605-615.
    This is the Q&A portion of the roundtable that focuses on the crucial issues of individual and collective guilt of the intellectual class in the face of war. The participants address the stratification of Russian society, possibilities and obstacles of dissent, and the eschatological tendencies of history by engaging with each other’s claims and ideas and seeking answers to direct questions.

  15. The Concept and the Experience of Revolution: France 1789--/Russia 1985--.Artemy V. Magun - 2003 - Dissertation, University of Michigan
    The historical meaning of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and of the subsequent post-communist transformation remains profoundly unclear. Most observers hesitate to designate these events as a revolution, building on a common-sense notion of revolution as a violent, radical change. My dissertation argues that the post-communist transformation was indeed a revolution and proves this claim by comparing it with the French Revolution, in its political, social, and anthropological aspects. In both historical cases, the quick and easy victory of society (...)

    The double bind: The ambivalent treatment of traig passions in Hanna Arendt's theory of revolution.Artemy Magun - 2007 - History of Political Thought 28 (4):719-746.
    This article offers a close reading of Hannah Arendt's book On Revolution. It exposes the ambivalence of Arendt with regard to tragedy and mimesis. This ambivalence is not just her own; it is inherent in the treatment of tragedy and mimesis throughout the history of political thought. In spite of Arendt's argument that privileges the limited American Revolution against the boundless French one, in her rhetoric and in her storytelling Arendt presents a unitary but dialectical picture of revolution, where suffering (...)

    What is an Orientation in History? Openness and Subjectivity.Artemy Magun - 2009 - Telos: Critical Theory of the Contemporary 2009 (147):121-148.
    This essay attempts to formulate an ethical program for today's left by showing that such a program should necessarily involve both the insistence on a subjectivity, in the sense of a revolutionary self-determination that would go beyond the liberal pre-established autonomy and an openness to the new and unrecognized that would go beyond all liberal tolerance. I further argue that the only way to understand the co-articulation of subjectivity and openness is to accentuate the event as the origin of open (...)
