Description

Book Synopsis
Challenges the contemporary critique of ideology, and in doing so opens the way for a new understanding of social conflict, particularly the recent outbursts of nationalism and ethnic struggle.

Trade Review
"This new Zizek is as stunning as its predecessors, and breaks new philosophical ground. Not only to Kant and Hegel illuminate Lacan (and vice versa), mass culture and politics illuminate all of them, along with a bonus in an astonishing excursus on opera."—Fredric Jameson
“Slavoj Žižek, the Giant of Ljubljana, . . . provides the best intellectual high since Anti-Oedipus.” -- Scott Malcolmson * Voice Literary Supplement *
