Through a series of essays, the author examines key thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Derrida, and Benjamin, alongside lesser-known figures like Shestov and Lessing, to trace a current of thought that challenges the very foundations of philosophy. Groys does not seek to provide guidelines or adhere to traditional philosophical criticism, but rather proposes a novel approach that allows for the rediscovery of the critical and transformative potential of these authors. An essential book for those seeking to understand the fissures of contemporary thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into the current of anti-philosophy, a movement that questions the capacity of philosophy to offer universal truths or closed systems of thought. Groys analyzes how thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, and Jacques Derrida, among others, have developed strategies to escape established philosophical frameworks, whether through paradox, poetry, criticism of technology, or deconstruction. Unlike a conventional academic study, the author does not aim to judge or classify, but rather to explore the tensions and contradictions that these \"anti-philosophers\" reveal at the heart of the Western tradition. The essay thus becomes a map of the resistances to systematic thought, offering the reader tools to question their own certainties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of systematic philosophy and its claims to universal truth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the work of Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, and Jacques Derrida as exponents of anti-philosophy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExploration of marginal figures such as Lev Shestov and Theodor Lessing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between thought, technology, and media through Marshall McLuhan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStrategies of intellectual resistance: paradox, irony, deconstruction, and cultural criticism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers with an interest in contemporary philosophy, critical theory, and postmodern thought.

Groys' proposal is stimulating for those who are already familiar with contemporary thought and are looking for a reading that is not limited to repeating established canons. His ability to build bridges between authors of different traditions and his critical, yet not destructive, approach make this book a valuable tool for intellectual debate. A recommended title for readers who want to explore the friction zones of modern thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ETERNA CADENCIA SL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407292129627,"sku":"9789877121001","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978987712100.jpg?v=1781851764","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9789877121001","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
