The Universal Exception

Autor Slavoj Zizek
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 apr 2006
"The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged from europe in some decades." -  Terry Eagleton
'One of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left.' TLS
The Universal Exception is the second volume of the collected key writings of Slavoj Zizek - one of the most provocative and inspiring writers on culture at work today. Collecting together a broad selection of Zizek's major writings on politics, The Universal Exception showcases Zizek's formidable range of interests and his style. The book includes his writings on such right-wing icons as Ayn Rand and Leni Riefenstahl; his take on the logic of capitalism and the condition of contemporary radical politics; and his views on major current global issues and events, including the Iraq war. Together with Interrogating the Real, the first volume of Zizek's selected writings, this collection offers a superb introduction to the work of this prolific, controversial and vastly entertaining cultural commentator.

Recenzii

'The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged from Europe in some decades.' Terry Eagleton
'Zizek has almost single-handedly revived a dynamically dialectical, Hegelian, style of thinking. I think of him as a sort of "logician of culture" who reveals the underlying structures of politics and ideology in much the way Kant did.' Eric Santner
'a must for anyone interested in a witty, erudite and almost Wildean examination of our present condition.'
'...like the first volume in the series, he covers a range of topics with a unique understanding of radicalism...'
