[[Psychoanalysis]] is less merciful than [[Christianity]]. Where God the [[Father]] forgives our [[ignorance]], psychoanalysis holds out no such hope. Ignorance is not a sufficient ground for forgiveness since it masks [[enjoyment]]; an enjoyment which erupts in those black holes in our [[symbolic]] [[universe]] that escape the Father's [[prohibition]].
Today, with the disintegration of [[Image:ForTheyKnowNotWhatTheyDostate]] [[socialism]], we are witnessing this eruption of enjoymnet in the re-emergence of [[aggressive]] [[nationalism]] and [[racism]]. With the lid of [[repression]] lifted, the desires that have emerged are from from democratic.jpg|right|thumb|250pxTo explain this [[apparent]][[paradox]], says Slavoj [[Zizek]], socialist critical [[thought]] must turn to psychoanalysis.
<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>''For They [[Know]] Not What They Do'' seeks to [[understand]] the status of enjoyment within [[ideological]] [[discourse]], from [[Hegel]] through [[Lacan]] to these [[political]] and ideological deadlocks. The [[author]]'s own enjoyment of “popular culture” makes this an engaging and lucid exposition, in which Hegel joins hands with Rossellini, [[Marx]] with [[Hitchcock]], Lacan with Frankenstein, high [[theory]] with Hollywood melodrama.
