Summary

One of the most widely-read thinkers writing today, Slavoj iek's work can be both thrilling and perplexing in equal measure. iek: A Guide for the Perplexed is the most up-to-date guide available for readers struggling to master the ideas of this hugely influential thinker. Unpacking the philosophical references that fill iek's writings, the book explores his influences from Hegel, Kant and Marx, through to his use of Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts. From there, a chapter on 'Reading iek' guides the reader through the ways that iek applies these core theoretical concepts to his discussions of such issues as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the figure of Christ in contemporary culture. In addition, the book also includes guides to the Slovenian philosopher's key texts - from The Sublime Object of Ideology through to his film The Pervert''s Guide to Cinema - and major secondary writings and online resources.
