The current rise in new religions and the growing popularity of New
Ageism is concomitant with an increasingly anti-philosophical
sentiment marking our contemporary situation. More specifically, it
is philosophical and psychoanalytic reason that has lost standing
faced with the triumph of post-secular "spirituality". Combatting
this trend, this treatise develops a theoretical apparatus based on
Hegelian speculative reason and Lacanian psychoanalysis. With the
aid of this theoretical apparatus, the book argues how certain
conceptual pairs appear opposed through an operation of
misrecognition christened, following Hegel, as "diremption". The
failure to reckon with identities-in-difference relegates the
subject to more vicious contradictions that define central aspects
of our contemporary predicament. The repeated thesis of the
treatise is that the deadlocks marking our contemporary situation
require renewed engagement with dialectical thinking beyond the
impasses of common understanding. Only by embarking on this
philosophical-psychoanalytic "path of despair" (Hegel) will we
stand a chance of achieving "joyful wisdom" (Nietzsche). Developing
a unique dialectical theory based on readings of Hegel, Lacan and
Zizek, in order to address various philosophical and psychoanalytic
questions, this book will be of great interest to anyone interested
in German idealism and/or psychoanalytic theory.
