It questions, variously, the relevance of game theory and sociobiology to politics; the supposed intrinsic values of liberal freedom, cultural change, and democratic action; and the claims of Marxism, deconstruction and 'Theory' generally to be non-ideological. More positively, it reinterprets fiction as a specific invitation to imagine, and celebrates Shakespeare, L.H. Myers and Beckett as truly critical, because truly imaginative, exponents of ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738543653152,"sku":"NEW0333973712","price":57.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71z3eWnaRLL.jpg?v=1779606578","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/imagining-the-real-essays-on-politics-ideology-and-literature-0333973712","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
