Bücher von Luis Giovanni Marquez

In this academic work, Luis Marquez uncovers the paradoxical notion of the human psyche that brings about an eruptual end to the meaningless abyss of post-modernism. By bringing together the works and thoughts of numerous great thinkers such as: Socrates, Aristotle, Baruch Spinoza, Slavoj ¿i¿ek, Jacques Lacan, Friedrich Nietzsche and Alasdair MacIntyre; Luis Marquez is able to elicit a rich philosophical discourse. The main theme of this work is to tackle the prevailing decline of Aristotelian teleology or the telos, its ethical dimension in Western political and cultural thought. Following the critique of ¿i¿ek and MacIntyre about post-modernism's inherent absence of a coherent, purposeful political and culture discourse, Luis Marquez argues for the revival of the telos within a political society by unlocking its revolutionary potential within human unconsciousness. Marquez formulates a compelling critique of contemporary philosophers who argue that the telos is lost or has gone extinct, by demonstrating the contrary, as a critical component of human relations and a vital source of further human progression and happiness.
