<div class="book-descr">

Slovenian [[philosopher]] Miran Bozovic's ''An Utterly Dark Spot&lt;/i&gt; examines the elusive status of the body in early modern European philosophy by examining its various encounters with the gaze. Its range is impressive, moving from the Greek [[philosophers]] and theorists of the body ([[Aristotle]], [[Plato]], Hippocratic medical writers) to early modern thinkers ([[Spinoza]], Leibniz, [[Malebranche]], [[Descartes]], [[Bentham]]) to modern [[figures]] including [[Jon Elster]], [[Lacan]], [[Althusser]], Alfred [[Hitchcock]], Stephen J. Gould, and [[others]]. Bozovic provides startling glimpses into various foreign mentalities haunted by problems of divinity, immortality, creation, [[nature]], and [[desire]], provoking insights that [[invert]] familiar assumptions [[about]] the [[relationship]] between [[mind]] and body.<br />
&lt;/div&gt;''
<div>

''The perspective is [[Lacanian]], but Bozovic explores the idiosyncrasies of his [[material]] (e.g., the bodies of the Scythians, the transvestites transformed and disguised for the gaze of God; or Adam's body, which remained unseen as long as it was the only one in [[existence]]) with an attention to detail that is exceptional among Lacanian theorists. The approach makes for engaging [[reading]], as Bozovic [[stages]] imagined encounters between leading thinkers, allowing [[them]] to converse about [[subjects]] that each explored, but in a different time and [[place]]. While its focus is on a [[particular]] problem in the [[history]] of philosophy, An Utterly Dark Spot&lt;/i&gt; will appeal to those interested in [[cultural]] studies, [[semiotics]], [[theology]], the history of [[religion]], and [[political]] philosophy as well.<br />
&lt;/div&gt;''
