synkar’s speculative rankings

status: unintegrated

these are books i haven’t read fully, and haven’t written a longhand review and/or counter-work for, meaning these are definitely fluid and not definitive standings, to the degree that they may be wrong or overrated. for integrated and fully comprehended rankings, visit the fragment's website's leaderboards instead

still to the date the single clearest conceptual narrative ever expounded, even contemporaries like deleuze struggle to recreate its density

temporally displaces secularization and modernity, probably the most clinical enemy of modernity

forces post-autonomist and acccelerationist critiques to confront existence over only confronting themselves

clearest example of a speculative cosmology that explodes scholastic bounds and deterritorializes all metaphysics up to that point

unfinished attempt at a structurally terminal vision of history and being

crashes all past and present discourse into a single cohesive elaboration whose clarity singlehandedly turns micro-sociology into a definitively operable science

messianism taken to absolute conceptual density, so much so that it gives birth to political economy as a virtuality

the first philosopher to actually ontologically mediate between technology and its social consequence rather than drawing on allegories for it

serves as a geneological closure for dogmatic philosophy as a whole

conceptual breakthrough serving as another cruical weapon against modernity

a rare case where only a single valid theory ever exists for an aesthetic category, where the work sweeps in to collect all its own medals and then closes room for discussion right after

even if not the most clever of his own writings, definitely the most polished critique of ideology ever created

clearest example of a conceptual scaffolding that merges theology, mysticism and ethics and crashes them into legitimatory structures

the beginning of a vision of anthropotechnics that crosses through philosophical liturgy straight into contemporary conditions

most systematic yet polemically valid conceptualization of blackness, time and history

its effects fundamentally changed biopolitics away from the foucaultian trajectory and back into mysticism. the only fault is that it isnt systemic, a central thesis recursively dominates

a one-of-a-kind fragmented attempt at seeing history as reconstructed through constellatory frameworks

if you want to read a work that actually generates new ideas in both an expansive and impansive sense, you dont have many other clear choices

theology, groudedness, death and vitalism are synthesized beyond recourse, literally the most jewish work that has ever existed

synthesizes feminist-marxist demand in a crystal-clear closure, a theoretical dead end for this praxis beyond its own ability to make itself come to life

the first work to posit the new requirements for a post-kantian synthesis between the two philosophical traditions, rather than gesturing at it alone

the first work of philosophy that functions as a fully stylistically and referentially closed syntactical and circular system, that also paves the way for how this needs to look like

the clearest example of what happens when you actually connect polemical delirium with conceptual brevity, the first major work of philosophy to have guts

manic reconstruction of all philosophically liturgical grounds into epistemic recalibration

systematic reconstitution of archetypal historical dialectics into elemental classes that require a new anthropological vision, one aligned towards graeberianism
