Book Description:

Dominik Finkelde rereads the tradition of German idealism for the potential of transformative acts capable of revolutionizing the social order. He engages thinkers typically seen as opposed--Kant, Hegel, and Lacan--to develop the concept of excessive subjectivity, which is characterized by nonconformist acts that reshape the contours of ethical life.
