nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is an invitation into one of the most challenging, provocative, and enduring philosophical movements of the late 20th century: post-structuralism. Emerging in the wake of structuralism's systematic approach to language, culture, and society, post-structuralism did not so much reject its predecessor as it questioned its foundational certainties. It reoriented philosophical inquiry toward ambiguity, contingency, and the instability of meaning-challenging our deepest assumptions about truth, identity, power, and knowledge.Post-structuralism is not a unified doctrine or a clearly bounded school of thought. Rather, it is a constellation of thinkers-Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Julia Kristeva, Jean Baudrillard, and others-each charting a unique intellectual path. What binds them, however loosely, is a shared skepticism toward totalizing narratives, fixed categories, and objective truths. Where structuralism sought underlying systems-whether linguistic, anthropological, or psychoanalytic-post-structuralism problematized those systems, demonstrating how they are shaped by historical contingencies, power dynamics, and the play of language itself.This book does not aim to simplify post-structuralism into a set of clear rules or principles, nor does it attempt to resolve its many internal tensions. Instead, it offers a guide through its core concepts-difference, deconstruction, discourse, power, subjectivity, and more-while contextualizing them within the broader intellectual and historical landscape. From Derrida's unsettling of the metaphysics of presence to Foucault's genealogies of knowledge and power, from Deleuze's philosophy of becoming to Kristeva's theories of the abject, post-structuralism offers a relentless interrogation of the categories that structure thought and society.Crucially, this book seeks to clarify-not codify. The writing of many post-structuralists is notoriously difficult, sometimes maddeningly so. This complexity is not a mere stylistic flourish; it often reflects the very nature of the questions being asked-questions that resist closure and demand a new kind of philosophical literacy. Yet, with patient reading and careful attention, the rewards of engaging with post-structuralist thought are profound. It offers tools for examining the assumptions beneath our language, institutions, and identities, revealing how what appears natural or self-evident is often historically constructed and ideologically motivated.This book is for students encountering post-structuralism for the first time, for scholars seeking a synthetic overview, and for readers from other disciplines-literature, sociology, political theory, cultural studies-who find themselves drawn to its critical promise. It is written with the conviction that philosophy is not an abstract, self-contained enterprise but a living practice that helps us understand, and perhaps reshape, the world we inhabit.In an age increasingly dominated by rigid ideologies, identity essentialisms, and algorithmic certainties, the post-structuralist impulse-to question foundations, to embrace complexity, and to remain open to the other-feels more urgent than ever. Whether one ultimately agrees with its premises or not, engaging seriously with post-structuralism can sharpen critical awareness and deepen our understanding of the conditions that shape contemporary thought and life.…
