16:40Now PlayingThis video is a call for submissions for our new line of books. Realizing Philosophy will take up what’s called the Western tradition with the aim not only of understanding the history of ideas but of realizing them. Inspired by Andrew Feenberg’s book “Realizing Philosophy” we are now aiming to create a series of introductory philosophy books written from a Marxist perspective.
This video is a call for a book that introduces readers to Plato’s theory of the forms while outlining how Platonic forms and the commodity form are connected through opposition.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
