=Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=This book forms part of a larger project for Žižek to reinvigorateThe feature which distinguishes the reputation great works of German Idealism whichmaterialist thought, for him, constitutes thebedrock of all philosophy. His particular hope with this monograph isthat he enhances the perception of Schellingfrom Lucretius’ ''De rerum natura'' through ''s Ages of the World as Capital'oneof the seminal works of materialism', divining in it a forerunner tothe works writings of Marx Lacan, is their unfinished character: again and Lacan among othersagain they tackle their chosen problem. The first part of the bookendeavours Schelling’s ''Weltalter'' drafts belong to explain this same series, with their repeated attempt at the Ages formulation of the World, while the second partcompares the reception ‘beginning of Schelling's work with the reception world,’ ofHegel's work using Lacan as the key to both. As can be imagined passage fromhis brief description, the first two parts of this volume make a complexand demanding read. The third part pre-symbolic pulsation of the book (the 'related matters'of Real to the title) is only relatively more accessible, but contains interestingdiscussions universe of both cyberspace and quantum physics which prefiguresome of Žižek's later worklogos.

F.W.J. Schelling, the German idealist who for too long dwelled in the shadow of Kant and Hegel, was the first to formulate the post-idealist motifs of finitude, contingency and temporality. His unique work announces Marx's critique of speculative idealism, as well as the properly Freudian notion of drive, of a blind compulsion to repeat which can never be sublated in the ideal medium of language. ''The Indivisible Remainder'' begins with a detailed examination of the two works in which Schelling's speculative audacity reached its peak: his essay on human freedom and his drafts on the “Ages of the World.” After reconstituting their line of argumentation, Slavoj Zizek confronts Schelling with Hegel, and concludes by throwing a Schellingian light on some “related matters”: the consequences of the computerization of daily life for sexual experience; cynicism as today's predominant form of ideology; the epistemological deadlocks of quantum physics. Although the book is packed with examples from politics and popular culture — the unmistakable token of Zizek’s style — from Speed and ''Groundhog Day'' to ''Forrest Gump'', it signals a major shift towards a systematic concern with the basic questions of philosophy and the roots of the crisis of our late-capitalist universe, centred around the enigma of modern subjectivity. =====Product Details====={| style="width:100%; border:1px solid #aaa;text-align:left; line-height:2.0em; padding-left:10px;"|width="100%"| [[Category:Slavoj Žižek|Zizek, Slavoj]].
