The Construction of the Subject and the Reception of Plato in Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault (Classical Memories/Modern Identities)

KORTE INHOUD

'What makes M.'s book important for both classicists and literary theorists in general is his sophisticated and nuanced comparison between modernist and postmodernist engagements with antiquity. M. (...) concerns himself with questioning why French modernism was so interested in Greek tragedy, whereas postmodern thinkers became more preoccupied with the Platonic oeuvre. (...) M.'s book powerfully shows that postmoderns like Lacan, Derrida and Foucault were profoundly preoccupied with making sense of the legacy of world events between 1939 and 1945 (to periodise crudely) in the post -1945 period. And it was Plato (inter alios) that offered a way of thinking through the ancient and modern tragedies inflicted during the first half of the twentieth century.'(DANIEL ORRELLS in The Classical Review (New Series), 2009, p.60). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.
