The monograph uses Lacanian concepts to trace the reception of the Anglo-American philosophy of ordinary language in continental philosophy. The book argues that this so-called Oxford philosophy transforms from an ordinary language philosophy into an ordinary literature philosophy once it reaches the European continent. Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, and Jacques Ranciere aestheticize J. L. Austin's theory into a philosophy of difference, thereby unwittingly shedding light on a dimension of indifference within the original ordinary language philosophy.

The author scrutinizes the ways in which modernity tries to disentangle itself from mimesis and proposes a defense of mimesis, claiming that modernity, by relating the traditional art to the past of mimesis and representation, thereby maintained a disavowed kernel of mimesis at it core.

In this book, the author investigates Hegel’s philosophy and the idea of the “wired brain”– what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges. The author explores the phenomenon of a wired brain effect, and what might happen when we can share our thoughts directly with others. He hones in on the key question of how it shapes our experience and status as “free” individuals and asks what it means to be human when a machine can read our minds.

In forging this new materialism, Žižek critiques and challenges not only the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva (to name but a few), but everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy. Alongside striking images of the Möbius strip, the cross-cap, and the Klein bottle, Žižek brings alive the Hegelian triad of being-essence-notion. The book presents radical new readings of Hegel and Kant.
