Description

Slavoj Žižek explores the complex and often contradictory nature of freedom in this thought-provoking philosophical work.

The experience of true, radical freedom is fragile and transient, according to Žižek. He draws on the ideas of philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as artists and writers such as Kandinsky and Agatha Christie, to examine the many facets of freedom and its relationship to key concepts like capitalism, war, and environmental breakdown.

By tracing the connection between freedom and these areas, Žižek offers a nuanced understanding of how our social activity can be controlled and regulated in today's digital age. This book provides an illuminating journey into the heart of freedom, offering hope in dark times.
