A dramatic attack on the thought of Derrida, Foucault and Lacan that critically analyzes one of the most influential intellectual currents of our time.

“A major and brilliant work of Marxist theory, admirably rigorous, clear-minded and well-researched.” — Terry Eagleton

“This is a fascinating book on many levels … Dews manages the exceptional feat of being both fair and clear in expounding Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard and Foucault.” — Charles Taylor

Peter Dews is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Essex. He is also author of The Limits of Disenchantment: Essays on Contemporary European Philosophy (1995).
