Interrogating the Real

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Slavoj Žižek is one of the world’s foremost cultural commentators: a prolific writer and thinker whose vividly adventurous, unorthodox, and wide-ranging writings have won him a unique place as one of the most high-profile thinkers of our time.

Covering psychoanalysis, philosophy, and popular culture, and drawing on a heady mix of Marxist politics, Hegelian dialectics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the writings collected in Interrogating the Real reflect not only the remarkable extent of Žižek’s varied interests but also reveal his controversial and dynamic style.
