Krátky popis
The maverick philosopher returns to explore today's idealogical,
political and economic battles, and asks whether radical change is
possible In these troubled times, even the most pessimistic
diagnosis of our future ends with an uplifting hint that things
might not be as bad as all that, that there is light at the end of
the tunnel. Yet, argues Slavoj Žižek, it is only when we have admit
to ourselves that our situation is completely hopeless - that the
light at the end of the tunnel is in fact the headlight of a train
approaching us from the opposite direction - that fundamental
change can be brought about. Surveying the various challenges in
the world today, from mass migration and geopolitical tensions to
terrorism, the explosion of rightist populism and the emergence of
new radical politics - all of which, in their own way, express the
impasses of global capitalism - Žižek explores whether there still
remains the possibility for genuine change. Today, he proposes, the
only true question is,or should be, this: do we endorse the
predominant acceptance of capitalism as fact of human nature, or
does today's capitalism contain strong enough antagonisms to
prevent its infinite reproduction? Can we, he asks, move beyond the
failure of socialism, and beyond the current wave of populist rage,
and initiate radical change before the train hits? 'Žižek is a
thinker who regards nothing as outside his field: the result is
deeply interesting and provocative' - Guardian 'Žižek leaves no
social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the
counterintuitive observation' -New Yorker
