{"product_id":"the-intelligence-of-evil-or-jean-baudrillard-9781845203276","title":"The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact","description":"We are at war. Human cultures are divided into two basic types, two antagonistic forces, one based on symbolic exchange, which is dual and reciprocal, and one based on money and sign exchange, which is totalising. Non-western societies can create genuinely symbolic, durable cultures. But the western world-system, based on a logic of empire, is designed to create an integrated and sealed reality, to snap tight around the world and its image. If the first is indestructible and the second is irresistible, who can win and what will victory look like? The answer may lie in the capacity for violence in the world-system itself, threatening that system from within with the purest of symbolic forms, the challenge of resistance. The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact is the summation of Baudrillard's work over twenty years. It is the essential analysis of the fundamental conflict of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Baudrillard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845203275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845203276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Jean Baudrillard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125460889855,"sku":"9781845203276","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92275a49-9d3e-4142-998f-5a22ee59d73d.jpg?v=1687442757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-intelligence-of-evil-or-jean-baudrillard-9781845203276","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
