9781859843260: The Fragile Absolute: Or, Why Is the Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For? (Wo Es War)

Synopsis

With typical brio and boldness, Slavoj Zizek argues in The Fragile Absolute that the subversive core of the Christian legacy is much too precious to be left to the fundamentalists. Here is a fitting contribution from a Marxist to the 2000th anniversary of one who was well aware that to practice love in our world is to bring in the sword and fire.

From the Back Cover

With typical brio and boldness, Slavoj Zizek argues in The Fragile Absolute that the subversive core of the Christian legacy is much too precious to be left to the fundamentalists. Here is a fitting tribute from a Marxist to the 2000th anniversary of one who was well aware that to practise love in our world is to bring in the sword and fire.

'Righteously to battle the tsunami of postmodern mush, Zizek attempts a reconciliation between Marxism and Christianity, eccentrically (against Nietzsche) trying to recuperate St Paul for the radical Christian.' Steven Poole Guardian

'The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged from Europe in some decades.' Terry Eagleton

'With his characteristically frenetic and dizzying display of wit, Zizek will entertain and offend, but never bore.' The Stranger
