Description

Responses to the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek have been, like Žižek himself, extreme.

Critics have accused him of charlatanism on the one hand, while others have lauded his genius, especially as a public intellectual, on the other.

This makes it difficult to find any kind of nuanced or interesting critical appraisal of his work. At its best Žižek's work provides a new foundation of dialectical philosophy, beyond the glitz of stardom or oversimplified sinister disdain. Žižek Responds! combines philosophers and theorists engaging with Žižek's philosophy in order to explore its unnoticed implications, its conceptual problems, or its unrealized potential.

With detailed and lively responses from Žižek himself, this book offers an unique insight into how this thinker might explain, clarify and hone some of his most controversial and misunderstood ideas.

At once an introduction to Žižek's most important concepts and a rare and novel insight into his thoughts on the criticisms of his work, this is indispensible reading for both Žižekians and their critics.
