Parallax, or the change in the position of an object viewed along
two different lines of sight and more precisely, the assumption
that this adjustment is not only due to a change of focus, but a
change in that object's ontological status has been a key
philosophical concept throughout history. Building upon Slavoj
Zizek's The Parallax View, this volume shows how parallax is used
as a figure of thought that proves how the incompatibility between
the physical and the theoretical touches not only upon the
ontological, but also politics and aesthetics. With articles
written by internationally renowned philosophers such as Frank
Ruda, Graham Harman, Paul Livingston and Zizek himself, this book
shows how modes of parallax remain in numerous modern theoretical
disciplines, such as the Marxian parallax in the critique of
political economy and politics; and the Hegelian parallax in the
concept of the work of art, while also being important to debates
surrounding speculative realism and dialectical materialism.
Spanning philosophy, parallax is then a rich and fruitful concept
that can illuminate the studies of those working in epistemology,
ontology, German Idealism, political philosophy and critical
theory.
