Bradley Kaye: ¿i¿ek and Freedom, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book is an exploration of i ek's theory of freedom. By examining key passages in i ek's work the aim is to provide a functional, serviceable philosophy of power and ideology and show how this philosophy of power relates to freedom. Although some, like Noam Chomsky, have criticized i ek's work as having no guiding principles, it is suggested that this misses the fact that i ek's philosophy utilizes a dialectical methodology that often appears contradictory. Though a highly astute reader with a background in the philosophical texts he frequently cites (the German Idealists, Freud, and modern philosophers), it becomes clear that there is a uniquely Zizekian philosophy that mobilizes a radical hermeneutics of freedom.
