Hop,skip and a jump into some radical thoughts. - Rated This is one of the most stimulating books I have come across for a long time. This guy is into Marx, Hegel and Lacan, and is trying to revive interest in German Idealist philosophy - which he does in spades. I have been studying Hegel for 58 years, and feel that this guy has it right - time after time hitting on some new way of seeing Hegel that places him right in the postmodern highway. "The true Absolute is nothing but the logical disposition of its previous failed attempts to conceive the Absolute." Cute, huh? "In the course of the dialectical progression, every boundary proves itself a limit: apropos of every identity, we are sooner or later bound to experience how its condition of possibility (the boundary that delimits its conditions) is simultaneously its condition of impossibility." Good thinking there. Most of the humanistic writings avoid the essence of their own constitution. They reach a dialectical position but they don't want to talk about it. They want to make it seem simple and above-board when it is nothing of the kind. This is in a way a praiseworthy democratic impulse - "Let's be understandable at all costs!" - but the basic mistake is to confuse the simplicity and transparency of the therapeutic breakthrough with the highly paradoxical and philosophically deep process by means of which this breakthrough was reached.
