Žižek’s First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
Slavoj Žižek’s First As Tragedy, Then As Farce appears, on first approach, to be a slender intervention into the disorientation of the first post–Cold War decade, yet it insists on staging a wholesale rectification of how that decade should be named, remembered, and used. It is a book anchored in the shock of two emblematic…

Hegel and the State
Franz Rosenzweig’s Hegel and the State (1920; first English translation 2024) is far more than an erudite study of Hegel’s political thought; it is a monumental philosophical biography, a tragic historical meditation, and an intellectual reckoning with the failure of German idealism’s promise when confronted with the realities of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century politics. Written…

Hegel and the Philosophy of Right
Dudley Knowles’ Hegel and the Philosophy of Right is one of the most sustained and philosophically rigorous engagements with Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, a work that itself remains among the most complex statements of modern political philosophy.

Žižek’s Too Late to Awaken: What Lies Ahead When There Is No Future
Too Late to Awaken: What Lies Ahead When There Is No Future is Žižek at his most distilled and unflinching: a diagnosis of the present whose wager is that we can only act if we renounce the narcotic hope that action will preserve the continuity of how we live now. From the opening pages he…
