In a dialog with philosophy the study outlines the relationship between the ontological, the ethical and the aesthetical dimensions of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. In three precisely circumscribed interventions it investigates the question of Being, Freedom and Comedy. The concept of Being is investigated in relationship to the psychoanalytic notion of sexuality and its possible ontological implications. The concept of Freedom is analyzed through the notion of Cause as its intrinsic condition. Comedy and the Uncanny are analyzed as two answers to the same fundamental impasse.

The aim of the book is to draw some implications from the thesis according to which there are two revolutions in the way of thinking at work in Kant’s philosophy. The result of the twofold “Copernican turn” in the Critique of Judgment is a new figure of the subject and the object that puts into question the correlation between the subject and the object as the crucial feature of Kant’s philosophy. At the same time, it introduces a radically novel concept of the relationship between the singular and the universal. ARRS recognised the book as an exceptional achievement of Slovenian science in 2012.

The monograph intervenes in the recent debate on the nature of being that emerged in the field of post-structuralism. Against the opposition between correlationism and realism (Meillassoux) and the opposition between the sophist (Cassin) and the mathematical (Badiou) dimension of philosophy, it develops a standpoint that being – precisely in its independence from all subjectivity – should be thought of as a surplus product of the order of discourse. ARRS recognized the book as an exceptional achievement of Slovenian science in 2011.

Book is an attempt to theorize one of the burning issues of our time, namely, that of a possible change of the world conceived in terms of an immanent exit in a world that knows no limits, no outside. In examining the possibility of the change of the transcendental regime of discursivity, the author analyses different approaches to this problem offered by Badiou's transitive ontology, Deleuzes ontology of virtuality, Agambens ontology of potentiality and Lacan's critique of ontology.

This book articulates a globalized world as one in which radical disparities in distribution of wealth are being reproduced as the basis for depoliticized social, institutional, and ideological discourses. At its center is a reorientation of global capitalism from the management of life towards making a surplus value from death. This change is presented as a reorientation of biopolitics toward necropolitics. Therefore in the book we work with processes of change, of a historicization of biopolitics and its turn into necropolitics that leads to a theoretical trajectory from M. Foucault to A. Mbembe.
