Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed Zusammenfassung

Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed Sean Sheehan (Independent Scholar, UK)

One of the most widely-read thinkers writing today, Slavoj Zizeks work can be both thrilling and perplexing in equal measure. Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed is the most up-to-date guide available for readers struggling to master the ideas of this hugely influential thinker. Unpacking the philosophical references that fill Zizeks writings, the book explores his influences, including Lacan, Kant, Hegel and Marx. From there, a chapter on Reading Zizek guides the reader through the ways that he applies these core theoretical concepts in key texts like Tarrying With the Negative, The Ticklish Subject and The Parrallax View and in his books about popular culture like Looking Awry and Enjoy Your Symptom! Major secondary writings and films featuring Zizek are also covered.

Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed Bewertungen

Charting a course through Lacan, German Idealism and Communism, Sean Sheehan presents a multidimensional roadmap through the various twists and turns of Zizek's philosophy, providing an indispensable introduction to the thought to one of the world's most challenging thinkers. The book finishes with a comprehensive overview of the famous Slovenian philosopher's considerable output across various media, enabling you to complete the journey to an understanding of Slavoj Zizek's thought on your own. -- Donagh Brennan, Editor, Irish Left Review

Sheehan's earnestly friendly little book... carefully explains the objet petit a, the difference between early and later Zizekian accounts of the real, and what Zizek takes from Kant and Lenin, before providing deft paraphrases of the main arguments (such as they can be discerned) in Zizek's major books, as well as some cute characterisations of their dramatic arcs. -- The Guardian

[Sheehan] has a reassuring tone and nice judgment. His exposition of German idealism, especially, provides a useful service for many of those preparing to tackle the large forthcoming volume that Zizek himself has tantalisingly described as his 'boring book on Hegel'. -- Steven Poole in The Guardian * The Guardian *
