About the author
Miguel de Beistegui
30 books14 followersMiguel de Beistegui teaches in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Warwick, England.
Beistegui was educated in France (BA, MA in Philosophy at the Sorbonne), the US (Ph.D., Loyola University of Chicago), and Germany (Postdoc, Hegel-Archiv, Bochum).
He specialises in 20th century German and French philosophy, and has published books and articles in the following areas: ontology, metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics and politics.
Initially specialising in the thought of Martin Heidegger, and in phenomenology in general, he has become convinced that philosophy needs to resist extreme specialisation and develop the conceptual tools to engage with our time. This means that it needs to bring together the various branches of philosophy, but also establish a dialogue between philosophy and the other disciplines, in the social as well as the natural sciences. His research and activities of the last ten years reflect such a commitment.

Exploración de (algunos) conceptos clave de Lacan (deseo, Das Ding, objeto a, jouissance, plus-de-goce), aquellos que dialogan con la moral y la ética, con Kant y Marx. No apto para quienes no estén familiarizados con el psicoanálisis...
Bien orientado filosóficamente, a la sombra de Heidegger, Hegel, Foucault o Deleuze, es agudo y aclaratorio, aunque ciertamente no añade nada nuevo a los autores que han tratado dichas temáticas (Dessal, Miller, Fink, McGowan, Zizek...).
Cualitativamente, empero, es un muy buen opúsculo, algo lastrado por su excesiva densidad filosófica (alejado de la clínica), si bien limitado por los intereses puntuales del autor.
