Zizek: A (Very) Critical Introduction (Paperback)

It has been the brilliance of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek (b. 1949) to uniquely weave theology, psychoanalysis, and politics together into stunning commentary on contemporary culture. Assuming little prior knowledge of this controversial (atheist, communist) philosopher, Marcus Pound provides the first comprehensive, systematic account of Zizek´s work as it relates specifically to theology and religious studies. Introduction # God, Dereliction, and Violence # Belief before Belief # Why the Political Act Must Necessarily Adopt the Form of the Religious Act # Sexual Difference and Non-All (Pas-tout) # Enjoy Your Religion. Afterword: The Counterbook of Christianity, by Slavoj Zizek
