What does ‘progress’ mean? Can things get better? And how, when we are constantly battered
on all sides by deepfakes, doomers and disorienting relativisms,can we make any headway at all
in the face of unprecedented ecological, social and political crises?

In this collection of iconoclastic essays, Slavoj Žižek disrupts the deathgrip that neoliberalists,
Trumpian populists, toxic self-improvement industries and accelerationists alike have...

The Parallax View is Slavoj Zizek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Zizek himself describes it as his magnum opus. Parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object, caused by a change in observational position. Zizek is interested in the "parallax gap" separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked by an "impossible short circuit" of levels that can never meet.

Modes of parallax can be seen in different...

Slavoj Zizek has been called "an academic rock star" and "the wild man of theory"; his writing mixes astonishing erudition and references to pop culture in order to dissect current intellectual pieties. In The Puppet and the Dwarf he offers a close reading of today's religious constellation from the viewpoint of Lacanian psychoanalysis. He critically confronts both predominant versions of today's spirituality -- New Age gnosticism and deconstructionist-Levinasian Judaism -- and then tries to redeem the "materialist" kernel of Christianity. His reading of Christianity is explicitly...

In this major new work, philosophical sharpshooter Slavoj Žižek takes on the reigning ideology with a plea that we should re-appropriate several 'lost causes, ' and look for the kernel of truth in the 'totalitarian' politics of the past.
