“The Mindful Revolution”: Technicized Souls and Extraction of Labor Power

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at a philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of the “mindful revolution” using Max Horkheimer’s concept of instrumentalization of reason and Michel Foucault’s notion of biopolitics, as well as findings of Ronald Purser. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the discourse of mindfulness and Buddhism and neuroscience. According to the thesis of the article, mindfulness is recognized as a technology of power for capturing the affects resulting from functioning within the neoliberal economy and producing a form of subjectivity that captures its emotionality in accordance with the principles of economic rationality.
