  1. On Belief.Slavoj Žižek - 2001 - New York: Routledge.
    What is the basis of belief in an era when globalization, multiculturalism and big business are the new religion? Slavoj Zizek, renowned philosopher and irrepressible cultural critic takes on all comers in this compelling and breathless new book. From 'cyberspace reason' to the paradox that is 'Western Buddhism', _On Belief_ gets behind the contours of the way we normally think about belief, in particular Judaism and Christianity. Holding up the so-called authenticity of religious belief to critical light, Zizek draws on (...)

  • Philosophie et non-philosophie.François Laruelle - 1989 - Liège: Editions Mardaga.
    Chaque époque invente de nouvelles pratiques et de nouvelles écritures de la philosophie. La nôtre aurait dû introduire dans celle-ci des mutations au moins équivalentes à celle du cubisme, de l’abstraction, du dodécaphonisme : elle ne l’a fait que très partiellement. Que faire de la philosophie elle-même? Comment changer globalement notre rapport à cette pensée qui se démontre de plus en plus conservatrice et répétitive? Ces deux raisons ensemble sont à l’origine de ce que nous appelons la "non-philosophie", qui n’est (...)

  • (1 other version)Violence: Six Sideways Reflections.Slavoj Zizek - 2008 - Picador.
    Book synopsis: Philosopher, cultural critic, and agent provocateur Slavoj Žižek constructs a fascinating new framework to look at the forces of violence in our world. Using history, philosophy, books, movies, Lacanian psychiatry, and jokes, Slavoj Žižek examines the ways we perceive and misperceive violence. Drawing from his unique cultural vision, Žižek brings new light to the Paris riots of 2005; he questions the permissiveness of violence in philanthropy; in daring terms, he reflects on the powerful image and determination of contemporary (...)

  • The open: man and animal.Giorgio Agamben - 2004 - Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press.
    The end of human history is an event that has been foreseen or announced by both messianics and dialecticians. But who is the protagonist of that history that is coming—or has come—to a close? What is man? How did he come on the scene? And how has he maintained his privileged place as the master of, or first among, the animals? In The Open, contemporary Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben considers the ways in which the “human” has been thought of as (...)

  • Théorie des étrangers: science des hommes, démocratie, non-psychanalyse.François Laruelle - 1995
    "Qui est l'Étranger? Une idée neuve. Les contradictions de la philosophie s'exacerbent autour de la science et de l'homme. Cet essai tente d'apporter aux antinomies de la philosophie avec la psychanalyse, avec la démocratie, avec l'Étranger, une solution unique par la fondation d'une "théorie unifiée" - unifiée par l'homme comme instance du Réel. Selon les matériaux qu'elle utilise, elle prend la forme d'une science des multitudes humaines, d'une théorie démocratique, d'une non-psychanalyse. Au centre du dispositif, il y a l'homme: ni (...)
