What do we know about Hegel? What do we know about Marx? What do we
know about democracy and totalitarianism? Communism and
psychoanalysis? What do we know that isn't a platitude that we've
heard a thousand times - or a self-satisfied certainty? Through his
brilliant reading of Hegel, Slavoj Zizek - one of the most
provocative and widely-read thinkers of our time - upends our
traditional understanding, dynamites every cliche and undermines
every conviction in order to clear the ground for new ways of
answering these questions. When Lacan described Hegel as the most
sublime hysteric , he was referring to the way that the hysteric
asks questions because he experiences his own desire as if it were
the Other's desire. In the dialectical process, the question asked
of the Other is resolved through a reflexive turn in which the
question begins to function as its own answer. We had made Hegel
into the theorist of abstraction and reaction, but by reading Hegel
with Lacan, Zizek unveils a Hegel of the concrete and of revolution
- his own, and the one to come. This early and dazzlingly original
work by Zizek offers a unique insight into the ideas which have
since become hallmarks of his mature thought. It will be of great
interest to anyone interested in critical theory, philosophy and
contemporary social thought.
