About This Item
London: Verso, 2014. Hardcover. Good Condition. 24.1 x 16 x 3.6 cm. One or two light external scuffs and bumps. Occasional pencil marks on a few pages only. Otherwise sound.Publisher's note: "In this major new work the leading philosopher Slavoj iek argues that philosophical materialism has failed to meet the key scientific, theoretical and political challenges of the modern world, from relativity theory and quantum physics to Freudian psychoanalysis and the failure of twentieth-century Communism. To bring materialism up to date, iek proposes a new foundation for dialectical materialism. He argues that dialectical materialism is the only true philosophical inheritor of what Hegel designates as the speculative approach of thought - all other forms of materialism fail. In Absolute Recoil, iek offers a startling reformulation of the ground and possibilities of contemporary philosophy"-- Provided by publisher Size: 24.1 x 16 x 3.6 cm. viii, 436 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
