The Hegel Variations by Fredric Jameson
New in paperback: Master philosopher and cultural theorist tackles the founder of modern dialectics
"Yields a series of audacious reading of a 'non-teleological' Hegel, throwing a distinctive light on such themes as master-slave dialectic, linguistic subjectivity, expressive production ('the animal kingdom of spirit'), normative division in the Antigone (inaugurating chapter 6, 'Spirit'), and the French Revolution" * Choice *
Fredric Jameson is America's leading Marxist critic. A prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep majestically from Sophocles to science fiction. -- Terry Eagleton
Jameson establishes the revisionist nature of his latest study from the very outset. For a work on a Hegel it is a conspicuously short but nonetheless fascinating work, one which encompasses all of the elliptical nuances, digressions and expansive inter-disciplinary scholarship which has characterized his past studies. * Glasgow Review of Books *
Variations shows how tenaciously Jameson wrestles with his angel to complicate further his relationship to Hegelian Marxism. -- Peter Hitchcock * Mediations Journal *
Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today . It can be truly said that nothing cultural is alien to him. -- Colin MacCabe
