Zizek's Jokes (Did You Hear the One About Hegel and Negation?)

by Slavoj Žižek
Zizek's Jokes (Did You Hear the One About Hegel and Negation?)
Zizek's Jokes (Did You Hear the One About Hegel and Negation?)

Philosophical insights through Žižek's humorous anecdotes.

If philosophy often seems daunting to you, Žižek's Jokes might offer a refreshing alternative. Slavoj Žižek weaves philosophy with humor, creating a book that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. It's like attending an eccentric professor's lecture, where the complexities of Hegel and Lacan are lightened up with a good laugh. This compilation not only showcases Žižek's wit but also serves as a unique gateway into deeper philosophical understanding.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
