Description
Libidinal Economy by Jean-François Lyotard is a foundational work in twentieth-century continental philosophy. In this influential text, Lyotard explores the concept of economies driven by libidinal energies or intensities that underpin all structures, from the human body to political and social events. Lyotard's ideas are applied to various subjects, including political economy, Marxism, sexual politics, semiotics, and psychoanalysis. He also critiques philosophies of desire, examining the work of thinkers such as Deleuze and Guattari, Nietzsche, Bataille, Foucault, and de Sade. Translated by Iain Hamilton Grant, Libidinal Economy offers a nuanced analysis of desire and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.
