*Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Philosophie (Bloomsbury
Translation)*
Parallax brings together a remarkable group of philosophers around
the problem of conceptualizing the identity and difference of mind
and world. It represents, in a way, the “continental” response to
the canonical “analytic” formulation of the problem put forth in
McDowell’s Mind and World (along with the vast literature it
generated). Under the heading of “parallax,” a notion introduced
into philosophy by Slavoj Zizek, the present volume takes a step
further; it makes it possible to include in our thinking about the
core problem the very split and antagonism between these two
traditions of thinking the problem. The essays are challenging and
not for the faint at heart; given the stakes at issue one could
hardly imagine it any other way.

The notion of parallax, as discussed in the contributions of this
volume, offers a radical, surprising as well as disturbing
perspective on the inextricable gap between mind and world:
provoking a new and productive approach to the understanding of our
- epistemic, scientific, aesthetic, ethical, and political -
realities.
*Joseph Vogl, Professor of Modern German Literature, Cultural and
Media Studies, Humboldt University, Berlin, and Princeton
University, Germany and USA*
Inspired by a signature concept of Slavoj Žižek, this superb
collection by distinguished contributors cross-fertilizes broad
swaths of contemporary thought with fresh readings of German
idealism. Especially for the way that it brings together a wide
range of problematics and traditions, this book should make a
difference.
