In this major new work the leading philosopher Slavoj Zizek 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, Zizek 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, Zizek offers a startling reformulation of the ground and possibilities of contemporary philosophy. No library descriptions found. |

Granted, mainstream philosphy is Western and male in our current society, still, so of course it is not surprising that Zizek's book is addressing questions of sexuality that address 'female hysteria', and that generally approach sex from the heterosexual male perspective. At least there are nods toward an awareness in this book that the 'female' perspectives may differ a bit, but at least in this book, Zizek's philosophy is not one that I can easily internalize as personally resonant as a female reader, however much I might like some of Zizek's points. He did at least spend a whole paragraph or so discussing Ayn Rand's novel We The Living, which I appreciated. Maybe after I've found time to unpack these essays, watching, listening to, and reading all the sources he references and studying the philosophers he particularly addresses, I'll find his philosophy a bit less distancing.
