Description

Slavoj Žižek's latest work offers a radical revision of contemporary philosophy, arguing that dialectical materialism is the only true philosophical inheritor of Hegel's "speculative" approach. Recent developments in fields such as quantum physics and psychoanalysis have challenged our understanding of existence, leaving Western philosophy without its traditional moorings. Žižek proposes a new foundation for materialism, one that can address the challenges of the modern world. He explores various aspects of contemporary thought, from music to film, and offers a series of excursions into the political, artistic, and ideological landscape of our time. This book is a pathbreaking work that seeks to bring materialism up to date, while maintaining its commitment to communism and critical theory.
