(P/B) CONTINGENCY, HEGEMONY, UNIVERSALITY

Παρουσίαση

Expanding the frontiers of the philosophical Left, Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Zizek collide in a fierce dialogue over the pressure points, burning questions, and black boxes of contemporary thought. At the heart of this experiment in intellectual synthesis is an effort to clarify differences of method and understanding within a common political trajectory. Through a series of exchanges on the value of the Hegelian and Lacanian legacies, the dilemmas of multiculturalism, and the political challenges of a global economy, Butler, Laclau, and Zizek lend fresh significance to the key philosophical categories of the last century while setting a new standard for debate on the Left.
