Das heutige Leben ist vom Überfluss geprägt. Es muss immer mehr sein, nie ist es genug. Lacan hat jedoch gezeigt, dass wir immer einen Überschuss an dem benötigen, was wir brauchen: Sonst können wir das, was wir haben, nicht genießen. Mit dieser Gedankenfigur, die Zizek mit Marx' »Mehrwert« und Freuds »Lustgewinn« zusammendenkt, analysiert der Meisterdenker aus Slowenien die Paradoxien der gegenwärtigen politischen Lage. Unter anderem anhand von Hollywood-Filmen wie der »Joker«, der Corona-Pandemie und den Zwängen der »Cancel Culture« zeigt Zizek, dass wir vielleicht einen...

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...

Slavoj i ek 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 i ek's varied interests, but also reveal his controversial and dynamic style.

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...

Bewältigen oder scheitern? Slavoj Zizek und sein philosophischer Blick auf unsere Zeit

Pandemie, Klimawandel, verzweifelte Flüchtlinge, ein Krieg in Europa: In der Welt regiert das Chaos. Gesellschaftliche Probleme, soziale Ungleichheit und internationale Konflikte wirken erdrückend, Fortschritt scheint kaum mehr möglich. Können kritisches Denken und die moderne Philosophie Antworten finden?

Die »Unordnung unter dem Himmel« erkannte Mao Zedong als eine Chance für Neuanfänge. Aber vielleicht hat die Unordnung mittlerweile den Himmel selbst erreicht?...

We are all afraid that new dangers pose a threat to our hard-won freedoms, so what deserves attention is precisely the notion of freedom. The concept of freedom is deceptively simple. We think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions.

In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Zizek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individualism, Zizek draws on philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as the work of Kandinsky and Agatha Christie to...

Contemporary life is defined by excess. There must always be more, there is never enough. We need a surplus to what we need to be able to truly enjoy what we have. Slavoj Žižek's guide to surplus (and why it's enjoyable) begins by arguing that what is surplus to our needs is by its very nature unsubstantial and unnecessary. But, perversely, without this surplus, we wouldn't be able to enjoy, what is substantial and necessary. Indeed, without the surplus we wouldn't be able to identify what was the perfect amount.
