About Robert Pfaller

Pfaller sees today’s neoliberal culture – on the side of the masses – as characterized by avoidance of pleasure and asceticism. He perceives a loss in the present of the subjects’ ability to adequately perceive their interests – instead of the objects themselves, renunciation is desired: “We don’t have a Porsche, and that’s a good thing.”

In addition to other publications, Pfaller gained particular attention for his study ‘What is Worth Living For: Elements of Materialist Philosophy’ (2011).

Robert Pfaller is the founder of the initiative Adults for Adults.
