On Voluntary Servitude\n\nFalse Consciousness and The Theory of Ideology\n\nMichael Rosen (Author)\n\n9780745605951, Polity Press\n\nHardback, published 25 April 1996\n\n304 pages\n23.6 x 16 x 2.7 cm, 0.595 kg\n\n\""Ever since Étienne de la Boîtie posed the vexing question, 'why do some men accept their servitude voluntarily?', theorists of all persuasions have struggled to provide a plausible answer. Perhaps the most powerful they have contrived posits the notion of ideological false consciousness, which found special favour among Marxists. In this sober, detailed, and rigorous reconstruction of the historical discourses of ideology critique, Michael Rosen examines all of the arguments on its behalf and finds them wanting. No one who hopes to rescue that answer, or indeed is concerned with the initial question itself, can fail to confront and rebut, if they can, his cogent objections.\"" Professor Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley\n\""On Voluntary Servit]
