A New German Idealism - Hegel, Zizek, and Dialectical Materialism

Adrian Johnston offers a first-of-its-kind sustained critical response to Slavoj Žižek’s Less Than Nothing and Absolute Recoil, in which Žižek returns to Hegel. Johnston develops what he calls transcendental materialism, an antireductive materialism capable of preserving and advancing the legacies of the Hegelian, Marxian, and Freudian traditions.
