===Review by ===: ''By [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=''[[Žižek ]] returns here to the territory of [[The Fragile Absolute ]] inwhat he describes as a 'self-critical' mood. Although advertised as ananalysis of belief, the main thrust of the book is once again the callfor a politics of the ethical act, one which rejects the comforts ofpragmatism and repeats the hard-line and unrepentant ethic of St Pauland Lenin. As such this represents the latest of Žižek's entreatiesfor us to leap into the 'night of the world'. Probably his most acces-sible accessible monograph to date (as well as one of his best-selling), this bookcan be profitably read with little prior knowledge of the rest of hiswork.
