- Boeken
In the 1980s, Laruelle’s radical thought experiment led him to a thought of the Absolute as primary and to envisage the Absolute as subject. He analyses the failure of symbolisation to capture the real, both in the failure of structuralist signification and in the failure of Deleuzian « sense ».
Subjects discussed: the Absolute turn, the Subject, bio-materialism and democratic relativism, Badiou and Zizek, Laruelle in the 1980s as vanishing mediator, repeating the 80s today.
