The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Centre of Political Ontology

The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Centre of Political Ontology (The Essential Zizek)

Slavoj ÂŽiÂžek, the maverick philosopher, author of over 30 books, acclaimed as the â€œElvis of cultural theoryâ€, and todayâ€™s most controversial public intellectual. His work traverses the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and jokesâ€”all to provide acute analyses of the complexities of contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated philosophy. His recent films The Pervertâ€™s Guide to the Cinema and ÂŽiÂžek! reveal a theorist at the peak of his powers and a skilled communicator. Now Verso is making his classic titles, each of which stand as a core of his ever-expanding lifeâ€™s work, available as new editions. Each is beautifully re-packaged, including new introductions from ÂŽiÂžek himself. Simply put, they are the essential texts for understanding ÂŽiÂžekâ€™s thought and thus cornerstones of contemporary philosophy.

The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Centre of Political Ontology: A specter is haunting Western thought, the specter of the Cartesian subject. In this book Slavoj ÂŽiÂžek unearths a subversive core to this elusive specter, and finds within it the indispensable philosophical point of reference for any genuinely emancipatory project.
