Highly respected amongst his immediate colleagues within the 'Budapest School', other stars at the apex of world philosophy (Jurgen Habermas, Zygmunt Bauman, Martin Jay, Richard Bernstein, Michel Lowy, Johann Arnason) also recognised him as one of their own. Formed in the 1950s around Gyorgy Lukacs's project of rehabilitating a humanist Marxism, members of the Budapest School became political refugees from the mid 1970s. Some were dismissed from their lecturing positions and six of the key figures moved to Australia in the late 1970s. Markus stayed with the Department of Philosophy in Sydney for the rest of his life, despite inducements first to join the New School for Social Research in New York in the 1970s and later to the ANU in the mid 1990s. As Seyla Benhabib once observed. George Markus 'was a special person' and, as anyone who had the privilege of being taught by him or working with him knows, he was an exceptional and original mind. Why, then, did Markus achieve a relatively modest public profile? This paper will begin by drawing on some observations from his biography and his philosophical temperament to explain this riddle. This project of making some sense of Markus will of necessity require us to talk a bit about the history of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sydney during a tumultuous political and social decade. Markus often said that the history of philosophy a ceaseless debate amongst the schools of philosophy. As a participant in those lively years, first as a student and then as a staff member, my account of this period is bound to be controversial. In the second part of the paper, I make a case for the remaining contemporaneity of his work by comparing it to the two great late twentieth century exponents of critical theory: Jurgen Habermas and Michel Foucault. This is also bound to provoke discussion.-----------------michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

I am interested in which images of cyberspace get circulated by us and what we can learn from them. Four prominent images are: cyberspace as "public sphere"; cyberspace as "free"; cyberspace with a "dark side"; and cyberspace "above" the law. Two of these may be cast as utopian imaginings, the others dystopian. But what they all share is a specific image of the "basic" digital subject: a disembodied mind. I unpack these images and consider the impact they have in light of the ongoing oppression of women.-------------------michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
