NEW TITLE: The Essential Zizek
SLAVOJ ZIZEK
Slavoj Zizek: maverick philosopher, author of over 30 books and
today¹s most controversial public intellectual. His work traverses
the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and
political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and
jokes, providing an acute analysis of the complexities of
contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated
philosophy.
Now Verso are making four of his classic titles that stand as the
core of his life¹s work available as new editions, including new
introductions from Zizek. They are the essential texts for
understanding Zizek¹s thought and cornerstones of contemporary
philosophy.
THE FRAGILE ABSOLUTE: OR WHY IS THE CHRISTIAN LEGACY WORTH FIGHTING FOR?
First published in 2001, but still timely, Zizek¹s defence of the
revolutionary core of the Christian legacy marked the beginning of
his long standing engagement with theology.
THE TICKLISH SUBJECT: THE ABSENT CENTRE OF POLITICAL ONTOLOGY
A systematic exposition of the foundations of Zizek¹s philosophy and
a detailed and rigorous confrontation with the predominant notions of
the subject.
THE PLAGUE OF FANTASIES
Zizek explores the role of fantasy in the proliferation of audiovisual media.
THE SUBLIME OBJECT OF IDEOLOGY
His first book in English from 1989 remains his bestselling and most
influential. An incendiary and original examination of human agency
and its relationship to ideology.
SLAVOJ ZIZEK is a professor at the European Graduate School,
International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities,
Birkbeck College, University of London and a senior researcher at the
Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
