Introducing Slavoj Zizek

Slovenian philosophy Slavoj Zizek inspires dramatic headlines. But what does he really think?

Dubbed "The Elvis of Philosophy," Slavoj Zizeck is both a serious revolutionary and an absurdist prankster, published in academic journals and Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs. Besides his work on popular culture, Zizek is concerned with politics and ideology. Introducing Slavoj Zizek reveals a provocateur whose work on Lacanian psychoanalysis collides with Marxist philosophy-creating the world's hippest philosopher.
