Kiarina Kordela Biography

Kiarina Kordela is one of the most popular and richest Philosopher who was born on July 13, 1963 in Patras, Western Greece, Greece.

In 2007, Kordela published $urplus: Spinoza, Lacan, wherein she maintains that the work of Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan is the correct continuation of thought that runs through Spinoza and Marx. She argues that this line of thought entails a radical reconceptualization of Being or appearance, and further, that this new ontology works “not simply to overturn the Platonic hierarchy but collapses it as obsolete.” Kordela challenges certain interpretations of Spinoza (namely, those of Jonathan Israel, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and other so-called neo-Spinozists, as well as their critics, such as Slavoj Žižek and Alain Badiou), arguing that all neglect the inherent contradictions of Spinoza’s work. One of those contradictions, which is central to Kordela analysis of Spinoza and her allegiance to his monism, is his statement that “truth is the standard both of itself and the false.” Kordela argues that this ternary concept of truth — truth, itself and the false — reveals Spinoza’s break with the binaries of both Platonism and anti-Platonism. Kordela shows that this ternary structure corresponds to Lacan’s argument that truth has the structure of a fiction. Kordela traces the emergence of “enjoyment” and “the gaze” out of Spinoza’s theories of God, truth, and causality, Kant’s critique of pure reason, and, drawing on Kojin Karatani, Marx’s pathbreaking application of set theory to economy. The main achievement of $urplus is to move away from the logical impasse of Kant’s critique of reason to Lacan’s and Marx’s theories of surplus by way of set theory.

This book argues further that secular thought tends towards formalism and structuralism—accurately defined by Deleuze as a mode of thought in which “the sites prevail over whatever occupies them” (2004, 174)—and shows the development of this tendency not only in ontology and epistemology but also in aesthetic theory and in the development of psychoanalytic thought. In this context Kordela also addresses the intriguing relation between structuralism and dialectics. But, Kordela argues, there is always also an excess or surplus to structuralism, and this surplus is what the line of thought Spinoza-Marx- Freud-Lacan refers to with the concepts of immanent causality and singular essence (Spinoza), labor-power (Marx), and libido/enjoyment (Freud/Lacan). This surplus to structure leads to a Spinozan-Marxian-Lacanian revision of the concept of biopower, far beyond Foucault’s reduction of bios to the discursive inscription of the biological body and population.
