In attempting to interpret such a revolutionary proposition in a more 'humane' light, and to turn Kant into our contemporary—someone who can help us with our own ethical dilemmas—many Kantian scholars have glossed over its apparent paradoxes and impossible claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is concerned with doing exactly the opposite. Kant, thank God, is not our contemporary; he stands against the grain of our times. Lacan, on the face of it, appears the very antithesis of Kant—the wild theorist of psychoanalysis compared to the sober Enlightenment thinker. His concept of the Real, however, provides perhaps the most useful backdrop to this new interpretation of Kantian ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstantly juxtaposing her readings of the two philosophers, Alenka Zupancic summons up an \u003cem\u003eethics of the Real\u003c\/em\u003e, and clears the ground for a radical restoration of the disruptive element in ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000615059692,"sku":"9781844677870","price":64.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21591943482844.jpg?v=1763289369","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/ethics-of-the-real-by-alenka-zupancic-9781844677870","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
