Rezensionen

'This original text presents an innovative interdisciplinary approach, where key concepts within different paradigms - such as jouissance in Lacanian theory, surplus value in Marxist theory, and nothingness/emptiness in the Buddhist tradition - relate to each other, challenging the boundaries of traditional political theory, and inviting us to rethink the relations among power, ethics, and civil society.'
