Zizek : A Very Critical Introduction

$25.99

Slovenian philosopher Slavojek is known for his brilliant tendency to weave together theology, psychoanalysis, and politics in a unique fashion to provide stunning commentary on contemporary culture. Assuming little prior knowledge of the controversial philosopher, Marcus Pound provides a general introduction – the first of its kind – to Slavojek’s work as it relates specifically to theology and religious studies. Pound begins by exploring Slavojek’s background in Lacan and German philosophy. That exploration is followed by a critical engagement of Slavojek’s concept of God, the mechanics of belief, metaphysics of faith, the role of religious ideology, and why a political act must necessarily assume the form of a religious act. Finally Pound considers the impact of this philosopher’s work on currently theological thought concerning gift and sacrifice, gender and sexuality, and the politics of inter-religious debate. This introduction, though brief, nevertheless provides a comprehen-sive account of Slavojek’s theological, political, and psychological lexicon. Pound’s work here renders the contours of the philosopher’s project in clear, accessible terms, perfect for any student of philosophy.
