Description

This scholarly examination explores the intersecting intellectual traditions of illusion and fetishism across four pivotal thinkers in critical theory. The work traces how Nietzsche, Benjamin, Castoriadis, and the Situationists approached these concepts to challenge conventional understanding of ideology, representation, and social reality. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in Social and Political Thought series, this book provides an in-depth analysis of how each thinker employed the frameworks of illusion and fetishism to critique modern society and culture. Ideal for academics, graduate students, and theorists engaged with continental philosophy, post-structuralism, and critical social theory, the text synthesises diverse theoretical approaches into a coherent study of how illusion functions as both epistemological problem and cultural phenomenon. The book offers readers essential context for understanding debates about ideology critique, aesthetic theory, and the relationship between consciousness and material conditions that remain central to contemporary critical scholarship.
