Description

Um espectro ronda a comunidade acadêmica ocidental, o espectro do sujeito cartesiano. Desconstrucionistas e habermasianos, cognitivistas e heideggerianos, feministas e obscurantistas (pós-)marxistas convergem em sua hostilidade contra ele. Seguramente uma das principais obras do filósofo esloveno Slavoj Žižek, O sujeito incômodo identifica o denominador comum de todas essas diferentes tendências do pensamento contemporâneo e lança a provocação: por trás do cogito ergo sum [penso, logo existo], o próprio sujeito cartesiano guarda o grau zero radical da política emancipatória, um núcleo subversivo capaz de fornecer um ponto de apoio indispensável para um novo projeto de esquerda.A partir de um intenso acerto de contas com a tradição anti-cartesiana, o filósofo esloveno desenvolve uma confrontação detalhada com algumas concepções contemporâneas do sujeito: a tentativa heideggeriana de superar a subjetividade, as elaborações pós-althusserianas da subjetividade política (Ernesto Laclau, Etienne Balibar, Jacques Rancière e Alain Badiou), a teoria da formação de gênero de Judith Butler, e a concepção da sociedade do risco e da segunda modernidade (Anthony Giddens e Ulrich Beck).Apesar do teor rigorosamente filosófico, recheado da astúcia e do humor afiado žižekianos, esse livro é fundamentalmente uma apaixonada intervenção política que procura enfrentar a urgente questão da reformulação de um projeto de esquerda em uma era pautada pelo capitalismo global e seu suplemento ideológico, o multiculturalismo hegemônico das democracias liberais.
