The Charmed Circle of Ideology: A Critique of Laclau and Mouffe, Butler and Zizek

Meer over het boek

Geoff Boucher rigorously critiques contemporary philosophical idealism, particularly focusing on the relativist implications of 'postmarxism' as articulated by theorists like Laclau, Mouffe, Butler, and Žižek. Through close readings and critical analysis, he connects their ideas to unresolved issues in modern philosophy. Boucher's work highlights the challenges posed by ideological discourse and suggests that 'intersubjectivity' could provide a pathway out of the constraints imposed by postmarxist theory.
