Product Description
Synopsis
A spectre is haunting Western academia, the spectre of the Cartesian subject. Deconstructionists and Habermasians, cognitive scientists and Heidiggerians, feminists and New Age obscurantists ...all are united in their hostility to it. The Ticklish Subject seeks to undermine the common presuppositions of all these crititiqes by posing a provocative question: What if there is a subversive core of the Cartesian subject to be unearthed, a core that provides the indispensable philosophical point of reference of any genuinely emancipatory politics.

From the Back Cover
A spectre is haunting Western academia, the spectre of the Cartesian subject. The Ticklish Subject confronts Deconstructionists and Habermasians, cognitive scientists and Heideggarians, feminists and New Age obscurantists by unearthing a subversive core to this elusive spectre, and by finding in this core the indispensable philosophical point of reference for any genuinely emancipatory politics.

'His most political book to date.' Robert S. Boynton Lingue Franca

'Slavoj Zizek's argument is subtle, witty and impassioned, and this book - his fourteenth in nine years - confirms his status as one of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left.' Times Literary Supplement

'Zizek is a one-person culture mulcher ... a fast-forward philosopher of culture for the post-Cold War period.' Village Voice Literary Supplement
