Being and symptom

<p>In this daring new study the renowned Turkish sociologist and public intellectual Suheyb Ö?üt seeks a new explanation of political sovereignty demystified from traditional descriptions of the political process. Boldly focusing on sexuality as a crucial definer of social order Being and Symptom argues that there is an M theory - a master theory of theories -- not only in Quantum Physics but also in Continental Philosophy Psychoanalysis and Sociology disclosing how the ontological structure of the fantastic four ingredients of metaphysics (potentiality impotentiality actuality completion) has recurred through time. Ö?üt also seeks to turn Thomas Hobbes's political philosophy into a social theory within the fields of sexuality and sovereignty and to locate parallels among Aristotle Ibn Khaldun Kant Hegel Heidegger Foucault Lacan Agamben Nash Derrida Girard Kristeva and Žižek with a special emphasis on how Žižek has adapted Lacanian psychoanalysis into social theory. Ö?üt conveys a highly original analysis of the unconscious of our social (sexual) relations subjectivities and politics.</p><p><br></p>
