The Truth of Zizek

Slavoj Žižek is widely regarded as one of the world's most important contemporary thinkers. His work has contributed dramatically to the reinvention and revivification of many key theoretical and political debates. Indeed, his vociferous and challenging body of work amounts to a sustained, ground-breaking, terrain-shifting and far reaching intervention into a large number of academic disciplines, intellectual fields and cultural debates.

Accordingly, Žižek's work demands a rigorous critical assessment. The Truth of Žižek is a major response to this demand: addressing the full range of Žižek's interventions and critically assessing the political, philosophical, psychoanalytical, cultural and institutional stakes of his ideas. The Truth of Žižek provides the first sustained assessment of the significant impact of Žižek's work.
