For the last two centuries  Western philosophy has developed in the shadow of Hegel  an influence each new thinker struggles to escape. As a consequence  Hegels absolute idealism has become the bogeyman of philosophy  obscuring the fact that he is the defining philosopher of the historical transition to modernity  a period with which our own times share startling similarities.  Today  as global capitalism comes apart at the seams  we are entering a new period of transition. In Less Than Nothingthe product of a career-long focus on the part of its authorSlavoj iek argues it is imperative we not simply return to Hegel but that we repeat and exceed his triumphs  overcoming his limitations by being even more Hegelian than the master himself. Such an approach not only enables iek to diagnose our present condition  but also to engage in a critical dialogue with key strands of contemporary thoughtHeidegger  Badiou  speculative realism  quantum physics  and cognitive sciences. Modernity will begin and end with Hegel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665840594997,"sku":"ByrdShop_1844678970","price":153.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781844678976.jpg?v=1782409665","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/less-than-nothing-hegel-and-the-shadow-of-dialectical-materialism-9781844678976","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
