Abstract

ZIELINSKI, Juan Matías. The economic-political service as anti-fetishist worship. Approaching the «early work» Enrique Dussel from the perspective of the «archaeological ethics». Franciscanum [online]. 2017, vol.59, n.167, pp.77-118. ISSN 0120-1468.

Presented by E. Dussel in his philosophical "early work". In the first section, I will systematically analyze the category of "fetishism" which allows to understand the processes of "ontological fetishization" of historical systems. I will present religion as "fetishistic super structural ideology" and process of fetishization as sacralization or deification of any historical system ("totalitarian totalization"). I will describe the analogical relationship between modern fetish (capital) and the biblical figure of "idol" (as Moloch and Mammon). In the second section, I will explain in which way archeological liberation is positioned as an atheistic instance of the God system denial. I will also explain in which way atheism can be understood as a propaedeutic instance since the affirmation of an Absolute alterative (God-Other), from the prophet-king's dialectic ("affirmative atheism"). In the third section, I will present the Hebrew notion Avodah in regards to the economic-political work-service as worship. From a materialist and contingent metaphysics, I will discuss the main categories for the cultic-prophetic development of the praxis of liberation.

Keywords : Enrique Dussel; Philosophical early work; Liberating service; Antifetishist worship; Archaeological ethics.
