The Universal Exception Summary

The Universal Exception by Slavoj Zizek (Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK New York University, USA University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)

The second volume of the key writings of leading contemporary cultural commentator, Slavoj Zizek. Collecting together a broad selection of Zizek's major writings on politics, The Universal Exception showcases his formidable range of interests and his style. The book includes his writings on such right-wing icons as Ayn Rand and Leni Riefenstahl; his take on the logic of capitalism and the condition of contemporary radical politics; and his views on major current global issues and events, including the Iraq war. Together with Interrogating the Real, the first volume of Zizek's selected writings, this collection offers a superb introduction to the work of this prolific, controversial and vastly entertaining cultural commentator.

Terry Eagleton 'One of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left.' TLS The Universal Exception is the second volume of the collected key writings of Slavoj Zizek - one of the most provocative and inspiring writers on culture at work today.
