Description
Slavoj Žižek presents a rigorous articulation of his philosophical system in this new definition of dialectical materialism. He critiques and challenges various thinkers, including Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva, as well as popular science and quantum mechanics. Žižek brings to life the Hegelian triad of being-essence-notion through striking images and lively commentaries on film, politics, and culture. His radical new readings of Hegel and Kant sit alongside characteristically engaging discussions of these topics. This book showcases Žižek's interrogative approach at its best. With a focus on dialectical materialism, this work offers a fresh perspective on key philosophical concepts and their connections to broader cultural and scientific contexts.
