[Article]
Beginning with a discussion of adaptations of François Jullien's understanding of ″potential born of disposition″ and ″silent transformation″ in two recent analyses of capitalist contemporaneity (by Bennett and Dufourmantelle), this essay argues that ″China″ as a philosophical tool bears within it a rich and underanalyzed genealogy that is poised to reframe critical theory in a new geopolitical context. The remainder of the essay then unpacks the intellectual history and textual philology of one earlier and pivotal moment of critical theory's collision with ″China″: Walter Benjamin's transformation of ″non-action,″ or Wu Wei, into a complex for thinking through possibilities of not-being in debt to Being.
