A Leftist Ontology

<p><b>A new ontology for a globalized world</b></p> <p>Rich with analyses of concepts from deconstruction systems theory and post-Marxism with critiques of fundamentalist thought and the war on terror this volume argues for developing a philosophy of being in order to overcome the quandary of postmodern relativism. Undergirding the contributions are the premises that ontology is a vital concept for philosophy today that an acceptable leftist ontology must avoid the kind of identity politics that has dominated recent cultural studies and that a new ontology must be situated within global capitalism.</p> <i>A Leftist Ontology</i> offers a timely intervention in political philosophy featuring some of the leading voices of our time.Contributors: Bruno Bosteels Cornell U; Christopher Breu Illinois State U; Nicholas Brown U of Illinois at Chicago; Sorin Radu Cucu Manhattan College; George Edmondson Dartmouth College; Eva Geulen U of Bonn; Philip Goldstein U of Delaware; Klaus Mladek Dartmouth College; Alberto Moreiras U of Aberdeen; Jeffrey T.
