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?

With a new introduction by the author

In this deliciously polemical work, a giant of cultural theory immerses himself in the ideas of a giant of French thought. In his inimical style, Zizek links Deleuze's work with both Oedipus and Hegel, figures from whom the French philosopher distanced himself. Zizek turns some Deleuzian concepts around in order to explore the 'organs without bodies' in such films as Fight Club and the works of Hitchcock.

The Art of the Ridiculous Sublime is first of all the detailed reading of David Lynch's The Lost Highway, based on the premises of Lacanian psychoanalysis.

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. From this consideration of parallax, Zizek begins a rehabilitation of dialectical materialism.

Modes of parallax can be seen in different...
