Bulgarian Philosopher, Literary Critic and Psychoanalyst
"Feminism can be but one of capitalism’s more advanced needs to rationalize."
"That faith be analyzable does not necessarily imply a method for getting by without it."
"The depressed person is a radical, sullen atheist."
"Today’s milestone is human madness. Politics is a part of it, particularly in its lethal outbursts. Politics is not, as it was for Hannah Arendt, the field where human freedom is unfurled. The modern world, the world of world war, the Third World, the underground world of death that acts upon us, do not have the civilized splendor of the Greek city state. The modern political domain is massively, in totalitarian fashion, social, leveling, exhausting. Hence madness is a space of antisocial, apolitical, and paradoxically free individuation."
"Significance is inherent in the human body."
