Product Description
Review
"This challenging book takes us on a roller coaster ride whose every loop is a Mobius strip." - Publishers Weekly "Zizek has only to clap eyes on a received truth to feel the intolerable itch to deface it... Zizek is that rare breed of writer - one who is both lucid and esoteric. If he is sometimes hard to understand, it is because of the intricacy of his ideas, not because of a self-preening style." - Terry Eagleton, Artforum "No one demonstrates the continued philosophical vitality of Marxism better than Slavoj Zizek." - Tikkun"
Product Description
"The Parallax View" is Slavoj Zizek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Zizek himself describes it as his magnum opus. A parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object caused by a change in observational position. Zizek is interested in the 'parallax gap' separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked by an 'impossible short circuit' of levels that can never meet. From this consideration of parallax, Zizek begins a rehabilitation of dialectical materialism. "The Parallax View" not only expands Zizek's Lacanian-Hegelian approach to new domains (notably cognitive brain sciences) but also provides the systematic exposition of the conceptual framework that underlies his entire work. Philosophical and theological analysis and detailed readings of literature, cinema, and music coexist with lively anecdotes and obscene jokes. This is Zizek at the height of his powers, both as a writer and a thinker. This is Zizek's magnum opus - his most substantial theoretical work in many years.
