About this ebook
Charting his meteoric rise in popularity, Christopher Kul-Want and Piero explore Zizek's timely analyses of today's global crises concerning ecology, mounting poverty, war, civil unrest and revolution.
Covering topics from philosophy and ethics, politics and ideology, religion and art, to literature, cinema, corporate marketing, quantum physics and virtual reality, Introducing Slavoj Zizek deftly explains Zizek's virtuoso ability to transform apparently outworn ideologies – Communism, Marxism and psychoanalysis – into a new theory of freedom and enjoyment.

I am a big fan of the introduction (to X subject books). This is probably the best formatted and most followable book in the series. As a fan of Zizek, I was able to get a sense of continuity of his work by reading this. A common complaint I have from this book series is that the explanation of different characteristics of the philosopher's work are merely definitions of the subjects they investigate. I found this was less so a case in this introduction to book, but was still slightly problematic.
