Biografisk notat
Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His books include Less Than Nothing, The Year of Dreaming Dangerously, Living in the End Times, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, In Defense of Lost Causes, six volumes of the Essential Zizek, and many more.The excitable fluency, ursine congeniality and gleeful readiness to provoke and offend all feed the sense of authentic sponanaeity and energy that has made Zizek somethig like European philosophy's punk icon, packing out auditoriums around the world.
- Josh Cohen, New Statesman
Few thinkers illustrate the contradictions of contemporary capitalism better than Slavoj Zizek ... one of the world's best-known public intellectuals.
- John Gray, New York Review of Books
A gifted speaker-tumultuous, emphatic, direct-he writes as he speaks.
- Jonathan Rée, Guardian
Like Socrates on steroids ... breathtakingly perceptive.
- Terry Eagleton,
In Absolute Recoil, Zizek proposes a new foundation for dialectical materialism that answers these fundamental challenges.
