Žižek, S. (2001) On Belief, London and New York: Routledge.
Žižek returns here to the territory of The Fragile Absolute in
what he describes as a 'self-critical' mood. Although advertised as an
analysis of belief, the main thrust of the book is once again the call
for a politics of the ethical act, one which rejects the comforts of
pragmatism and repeats the hard-line and unrepentant ethic of St Paul
and Lenin. As such this represents the latest of Žižek's entreaties
for us to leap into the 'night of the world'. Probably his most acces-
sible monograph to date (as well as one of his best-selling), this book
can be profitably read with little prior knowledge of the rest of his
work.
