The New Materialism: Althusser, Badiou, and Zizek - Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought
Pfeifer, Geoff (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA)
In this book, Geoffrey Pfeifer looks at the respective materialist philosophies of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek in the context of the Althusserian Marxist tradition. Pfeifer argues that though both thinkers set out to respond to problems left by Althusser’s Marxism, ultimately Žižek’s response succeeds in ways that Badiou’s does not.
