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.

Dominik Finkelde is professor of contemporary political philosophy and epistemology at the Munich School of Philosophy.
