{"product_id":"less-than-nothing","title":"Less Than Nothing By Zizek, Slavoj","description":"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, Hegel's 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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Today, as global capitalism comes apart at the seams, we are entering a new period of transition. In \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Less Than Nothing\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;,  the product of a career-long focus on the part of its author, Slavoj  Zizek 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 Zizek to diagnose our present condition, but also to engage in a  critical dialogue with the key strands of contemporary  thought—Heidegger, Badiou, speculative realism, quantum physics, and  cognitive sciences. Modernity will begin and end with Hegel.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57650663358846,"sku":"NW9781781681275","price":53.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781781681275.jpg?v=1783372530","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/less-than-nothing","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
