Die Politische Suspension Des Ethischen
In seinem neuen Buch unterzieht Slavoj Žižek die derzeit prominenten Ethiken einer fundamentalen Kritik: Er setzt sich mit den Entwürfen u. a. von Judith Butler, Frederic Jameson, Emmanuel Lévinas, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, Michael Hardt/Antonio Negri und Jacques Rancière auseinander und zeigt, wie das Politische das Ethische zu eliminieren droht. Gleichzeitig unternimmt er eine Standortbestimmung linken Denkens, das sich weder von der Realpolitik noch vom ethischen Anspruch trennen lassen möchte.
