The most dangerous philosopher in the West.
*The New Republic*
Fierce brilliance ... scintillating.
*The Guardian*
Zizek is to today what Jacques Derrida was to the 80s: the thinker
of choice for Europe's young intellectual vanguard.
*The Observer*
Such passion, in a man whose work forms a shaky, cartoon
rope-bridge between the minutiae of popular culture and the big
abstract problems of existence, is invigorating, entertaining and
expanding enquiring minds around the world.
*Daily Telegraph*
Zizek weaves together psychoanalytic and historical materialist
theories with great panache.
