First published in 2004, \u003cem\u003eError, Illusion, Madness\u003c\/em\u003e is an original contribution to the debate about the nature and role of the subject and its forms of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a context where the category of the subject was being at once dismissed by structuralist and post-structuralist thinkers and sidelined by the intersubjective turn of critical theory, Bento Prado Jr.’s book represented a unique intellectual intervention. He mobilised authors as diverse as Wittgenstein and Deleuze to formulate a notion of the subject as both a critique of identity and an affirmation of difference, a notion that dismantled the foundational character usually associated with this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, Bento Prado Jr. opened up a new and distinctive kind of critical thinking that emphasised subjectivity while avoiding both foundationalism and relativism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis important book will be of great interest to those working in philosophy, critical theory, cultural theory, and Latin American studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000608440556,"sku":"9781509537051","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12392763482725.jpg?v=1763288906","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/error-illusion-madness-by-bento-prado-jr-9781509537051","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
