(P/B) THE FRAGILE ABSOLUTE

Παρουσίαση

One of the signal features of our era is the re-emergence of the "sacred" in all its different guises, from New Age paganism to the emerging religious sensitivity within cultural and political theory.
The wager of Zizek's "The Fragile Absolute" - published here with a new preface by the author - is that Christianity and Marxism can fight together against the contemporary onslought of vapid spiritualism. The revolutionary core of the Christian legacy is too precious to be left to the fundamentalists. (From the publisher)
