The New Materialism (eBook, ePUB)

Althusser, Badiou, and Zizek

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Geoffrey Pfeifer looks at the respective materialist philosophies of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek in the context of the Althusserian Marxist tradition. Pfeifer argues that though both thinkers set out to respond to problems left by Althusser's Marxism, ultimately Zizek's response succeeds in ways that Badiou's does not.
