Žižek's Essays - Bogserien

Žižek’s Essays showcase the best of Slavoj Žižek’s thought and writing in short, punchy collections of essays. Carefully curated to chart the intellectual journeys of one of the world’s prominent philosophers, each book brings together writings addressing the most urgent issues facing the contemporary subject. Written with Žižek’s characteristic verve, expansiveness, erudition and imagination, the essays combine the enduring Žižekian preoccupations of Marxism, psychoanalysis, contemporary politics and film with emerging themes—particle physics, new theories of history, authenticity in the age of AI, war and ecological collapse in all its catastrophic forms. Žižek’s Essays invite both seasoned readers and new discoverers to experience thinking life, politics and history through the idiosyncratic and topsy-turvy brilliance of the ultimate philosopher for a world turned upside down.
