Abstract [en]

According to a famous definition once outlined by Sergey Nechayev, a revolutionary agent must have a single-minded commitment to the revolution, involving a ruthless and depersonalizing consequentialism that leaves no room for any other kind of attachment. As a result of his commitment to the revolution, Nechayev’s revolutionary agent will lack a proper understanding of important aspects of a fully human identity, including gender, personal relationships, and indi- vidual integrity. The emotionally and morally destructive effects of the depersonalization required by Nechayev are well illustrated by Michael Boylan in his philosophical novel T-Rx: The History of a Radical Leader. In this chapter, the failures and frustrations of two of the main characters of the novel, T-Rx and Mary Taylor, will be analysed against the background of Nechayev’s conception of the revolutionary agent.
