Through a careful, Lacan-inspired reading of Hegel’s Logic, this book discusses how the anti-war movement must avoid repeating the same fantasmatic structure as the war it deplores. 'A brilliantly inspired and inspiring coupling, perhaps unlikely, of Hegel’s Logic with an exploration of recent war rhetoric...Burak launches a formidable and illuminating political analysis of how any semblance of reasoning seems to have deserted us. This is an immensely readable book, and has the considerable virtues of being both original and committed to asking urgent and pressing questions about one of the most pressing ethical questions of our day,' writes Tina Chanter. And, from Bill Martin: 'Completely insightful and unexpected, finally someone is taking a Zizekian approach to Hegel and doing something radical and political with it. No one could have anticipated what might happen when deeply similar fantasy structures of America and Al Qaeda came into collision and collusion; Burak provides essential ingredients for sorting the noxious mix, and for pressing forward the resistance to what in fact forms the totality of our postmodern imperialist world.'
