About this book
This now classic work by one of the most important philosophers and critics of our time charts the trajectory of desire: its genesis from Hegel's formulation in Phenomenology of Spirit through its appropriation by Kojeve, Hyppolite, Sartre, Lacan, Deleuze, and Foucault. Subjects of Desire provides a sophisticated account of the post-Hegelian tradition that has predominated in modern France and that remains relevant to contemporary debates concerning desire, the unconscious subjection, and the subject.
