Night of the World: Traversing the Ideology of Objectivity

Night of the World: Traversing the Ideology of Objectivity by Frank Smecker
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1782791809 | ISBN-13: 9781782791805 | 297 pages | EPUB | 2 MB

By situating objectivity at the level of ideology, while placing it within a dynamic, experimental and, at times, unorthodox interplay with Hegelian and Lacanian philosophy, Night of the World offers a unique and radical re-thinking of objectivity.

Encompassing a constellational array of wide-ranging subjects, from popular culture, politics, history, science, and philosophy, while deploying an engaging prose that is both incisive and seamlessly tangential, Smecker is both an ally with, and emerging voice in, the field of Žižekian dialectics. Incorporating Žižek's philosophy, Smecker speculates over both objectivity and ideology, evoking methods of thought not so prevalent since German Idealism was all the rage. In the spirit of Kierkegaard, Night of the World is the result of an imaginative hypothesis. And that is only the half of it. Written in a style that will undoubtedly leave the reader itching to read it again once finished, Night of the World is an ongoing engagement with an abundance of additional postulations, whose sole purpose is to produce more products of thought.
