Le socialisme utopique n'est pas mort: G. A. Cohen

You probably don't know G. A. Cohen. Yet you should. A highly influential author who is still little known in France, Cohen advocates "utopian socialism." Does Mbappé deserve his salary? Is Rawls a victim of extortion? Would you go camping with capitalists? Find out here. This video is inspired by the excellent little book "G. A. Cohen - Saving Equality" by Tarrit & Vandamme, which has just been published by Michalon. 👇 CHAPTERS & REFS 📕 👇 🙏 Thank you for your support on these platforms: 🙏 👉 https://fr.ulule.com/philoxime/ 👉   / philoxime   👉 https://fr.tipeee.com/philoxime ⌛ CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 01:34 - Short Bio 03:00 - Analytical Marxism 04:30 - Reconnecting with Utopian Socialism 06:46 - Cohen vs. Nozick: Mbappé's Salary 10:54 - Cohen vs. Rawls: Blackmailing the Talented 15:09 - Why Not Socialism? 📕 REFERENCES This video is largely inspired by the following book, which I highly recommend: 👉Tarrit & Vandamme (2023) “G.
