Infos

Responses to the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj i ek have been, like i ek himself, extreme. Critics have accused him of charlatanism on the one hand, while others have lauded his genius, especially as a public intellectual, on the other. This makes it difficult to find any kind of nuanced or interesting critical appraisal of his work.At its best i ek's work provides a new foundation of dialectical philosophy, beyond the glitz of stardom or oversimplified sinister disdain. i ek Responds! combines philosophers and theorists engaging with i ek's philosophy in order to explore its unnoticed implications, its conceptual problems, or its unrealized potential. With detailed and lively responses from i ek himself, this book offers an unique insight into how this thinker might explain, clarify and hone some of his most controversial and misunderstood ideas. At once an introduction to i ek's most important concepts and a rare and novel insight into his thoughts on the criticisms of his work, this is indispensible reading for both i ekians and their critics.
