Klappentext Slavoj ¿i¿ek is the most popular and discussed philosopher in the world today. His prolific writings - across philosophy, psychoanalysis, political and social theory, film, music and religion - always engage and provoke. The power of his ideas, the breadth of his references, his capacity for playfulness and confrontation, his willingness to change his mind and his refusal fundamentally to alter his argument - all have worked to build an extraordinary international readership as well as to elicit much critical reaction. The ¿i¿ek Dictionary brings together leading ¿i¿ek commentators from across the world to present a companion and guide to ¿i¿ekian thought. Each of the 60 short essays examines a key term and, crucially, explores its development across ¿i¿ek's work and how it fits in with other concepts and concerns. The dictionary will prove invaluable both to readers coming to ¿i¿ek for the first time and to those already embarked on the ¿i¿ekian journey.

Each of the 60 short essays examines a key term and, crucially, explores its development across Žižek’s work and how it fits in with other concepts and concerns.
