==Source===Book Description=====[[Image:Cogito.And.The.Unconscious.jpg|200px|thumb|Book Cover]]The [[Cartesian]] cogito—the [[principle]] articulated by [[Descartes]] that "I [[think]], therefore I am"—is often hailed as the precursor of modern [[science]]. At the same [[time]], the cogito’s [[agent]], the ego, is sometimes feared as the [[agency]] of manipulative domination [[responsible]] for all [[present]] woes, from patriarchal oppression to ecological catastrophes. Without psychoanalyzing [[philosophy]], ''[[Cogito ]] and The the [[Unconscious]]'' explores the vicissitudes of the cogito and shows that psychoanalyses can render [[visible]] a constitutive [[madness]] within modern philosophy, the point at which "I think, therefore I am" becomes [[obsessional]] [[neurosis]] characterized by "If I stop [[thinking]], I will cease to [[exist]]. SZ editor"Noting that for [[Lacan]] the Cartesian [[construct]] is the same as the [[Freudian]] "[[subject]] of the unconscious," the contributors follow Lacan’s plea for a [[psychoanalytic]] [[return]] to the cogito. Durham: Duke University PressAlong the path of this return, they examine the [[ethical]] attitude that befits modern [[subjectivity]], the inherent sexualization of modern subjectivity, the [[impasse]] in which the Cartesian [[project]] becomes involved given the enigmatic status of the [[human]] [[body]], and the Cartesian subject’s confrontation with its modern critics, including [[Althusser]], [[Bataille]], and Dennett. In a style that has become familiar to Zizek’s readers, these essays bring together a strict [[conceptual]] [[analysis]] and an approach to a wide range of [[cultural]] and [[ideological]] phenomena—from the [[sadist]] paradoxes of Kant’s [[moral]] philosophy to the [[universe]] of Ayn Rand’s novels, from the question "Which, if any, is the sex of the cogito?" to the [[defense]] of the cogito against the onslaught of cognitive [[sciences]].Challenging us to reconsider fundamental notions of human [[consciousness]] and modern subjectivity, this is a book whose very [[Lacanian]] orthodoxy makes it irreverently [[transgressive]] of predominant [[theoretical]] paradigms. 1998[[Cogito and the Unconscious]] will appeal to readers interested in philosophy, [[psychoanalysis]], cultural studies, and theories of [[ideology]].
