Alongside striking images of the Möbius strip, the cross-cap, and the Klein bottle, Zizek brings alive the Hegelian triad of being-essence-notion. Radical new readings of Hegel, and Kant, sit side by side with characteristically lively commentaries on film, politics, and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is Zizek at his interrogative best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slavoj Zizek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350202412","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711243391113,"sku":"9781350202412","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3b0690b8-e49d-426c-bc15-87f58a78be9a.jpg?v=1719565045","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/sex-and-the-failed-absolute-9781350202412","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
