Special issue: Immanence, transcendence, and utopia.What is the primordial question of any possible political philosophy today? 1his volume intends to open up the debate among some of the various philosophical tendencies that derived from the different post-Marxisms of the seventies, and many other strands of thought that arose more directly from within poststructuralism and their endeavor to think through the crisis of the epistemological and political subject, as Kenneth Surin would have it. ' Our present conjuncture is the result of the global dominance of neoliberalism and flexible accumulation, especially after the disappearance of the socialist regimes, and the end of a bipolar geopolitical order. One could thus claim that we now live in a post-ideological era dominated by an order of global flexible accumulation. Taking into account this conjuncture, it is perhaps not unfathomable to think that our post-ideological era has contributed to the disintegration of the political subject and to the withering of most of its former social practices of emancipation. The intention behind this volume is to create a dialogue between two philosophical traditions in their current evolution and their attempt at theorizing the present political conjuncture. Namely, the ontological Idealist tradition that begins with Kant and the Spinozan immanentist ontology.2 Let me briefly summarize the theoretical questions raised by each one of these traditions, because it is key to understand that the political discourses that stem from each one of the two traditions have a fundamental theoretical split whose origin can be found in their ontological premises.Introduction: Neither Immanence nor Transcendence by Marta Hernandez Salvan
