==Source===Book Description=====[[Image:The.Puppet.And.The.Dwarf.jpg|215px|right]]Slavoj [[Zizek]] has been called "an academic rock star" and "the wild man of [[theory]]"; his [[writing]] mixes astonishing erudition and references to pop [[culture]] in [[order]] to dissect current [[intellectual]] pieties. In ''The Puppet and the Dwarf: The Perverse Core '' he offers a close [[reading]] of today's [[religious]] constellation from the viewpoint of [[Lacanian]] [[psychoanalysis]]. He critically confronts both predominant versions of today's spirituality--New Age gnosticism and deconstructionist-Levinasian [[Judaism]]--and then tries to redeem the "[[materialist]]" kernel of [[Christianity]]. Cambridge: MIT PressHis reading of Christianity is explicitly [[political]], discerning in the [[Pauline]] [[community]] of believers the first version of a revolutionary collective. 2002Since today even advocates of [[Enlightenment]] like Jurgen [[Habermas]] acknowledge that a religious [[vision]] is needed to ground our [[ethical]] and political stance in a "postsecular" age, this book--with a stance that is clearly materialist and at the same [[time]] indebted to the core of the [[Christian]] legacy--is certain to stir controversy.
