These essays are critical explorations of different societal and cultural themes and phenomena, including love, life, worldviews, the human subject, time, politics, woman's desire, art, cinema, architecture and literature. The various topics are approached from critical-philosophical, psychoanalytical and poststructuralist perspectives, in the process engaging with thinkers such as Plato, Freud, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Kant, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Kristeva and Rancière. Their aim is to shed light on some areas where human experience and theoretical scrutiny converge, and to do so at a time when critical philosophical thinking is waning in the face of the superficiality that all too often marks communicational exchanges on social media.
