Produktinformationen zu „The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact “
There are few philosophers today cool enough to be referenced in the "Matrix," interesting enough to be mentioned on "Six Feet Under," and popular enough to get over 606,000 hits on Google. Jean Baudrillard has succeeded in all of this and more. Now, in his latest book, Baudrillard presents his most popular themes--symbolic exchange, hyper-reality, technology and war--and applies them to the current global conflict between "the West and the Rest," including Islam. Ultimately, it is not simply about the war against terror but about the bigger picture of capitalism versus everything else. This book serves as the summation of Baudrillard's work over the last twenty years and is the essential analysis of the fundamental conflict of our time.

Rezension zu „The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact “
'A compelling analysis of what Washington has been pleased to call the global war on terror.' Times Literary Supplement 'When it comes to mysterious paradoxes and lyrical complexity no French intellectual matches Jean Baudrillard in contemplating the New World a sharp-shooting Lone Ranger of the post-Marxist left.' New York Times 'An international, intellectual superstar.' Salon.com 'Baudrillard foresaw the allure of virtual reality long before William Gibson; he was in the vanguard of Marxian critiques of modern consumerism; before it became fashionable, he wrote a scintillating analysis of man's sentimental exploitation of animals. Baudrillard got there first, many times. And now his self-imposed task isto shock us into realising that thought and the world need not be as they are.' The Guardian 'The most notorious intellectual celebrity to emerge from Paris since Roland Barthes and the most influential prophet of the media since Marshal McLuhan.' i-D magazine 'Th
