Slavoj [[Zizek ]] is perhaps the most important, original and enigmatic [[philosophers ]] [[writing ]] today. Many readers both [[inside ]] and [[outside ]] of the academy have been intrigued by both the man and his writing yet, given the density of his prose and the radical views he often espouses, they have struggled to get a handle on his basic positions. He draws upon and makes continual reference to the challenging [[concepts ]] of [[Kant]], [[Hegel]], [[Marx]], [[Lacan]], and [[Badiou]]. His prose is dense and frenetic and his [[dialectical ]] twists and turns seem to make it [[impossible ]] to attribute to him any specific [[position]]: he celebrates St. [[Paul ]] and orthodox Christians even as he engages in a spirited [[defense ]] of [[Lenin]].

Zizek's [[Politics ]] will synthesize Zizek's myriad [[political ]] writings into a systematic [[theory ]] and put his theory into dialogue with key concepts and positions in contemporary political [[thought]]. It will provide readers with a much needed critical introduction to the political thought of one of the [[world]]'s most widely known and eccentric thinkers.
