First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 175 pages. Retrospective collection of full-length interviews. The single most accessible and illuminating introduction to the ground-breaking and influential philosophy and cultural criticism of Slavoj Zizek. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a small independent press. Printed on archival stock paper in the United Kingdom to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. There is no American Edition. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents "Conversations With Slavoj Zizek". Bristling with brilliant ideas and insights, as one might expect of THE philosopher par excellence. "Illustrate the originality of Zizek's thinking on psychoanalysis, philosophy, multiculturalism, popular-cyber culture, totalitarianism, ethics, and politics. Provides a unique glimpse of Zizek's humor and character, and offers new material and fresh perspectives, which will be of interest even to the most devoted followers of Zizek's writings" (Publisher's blurb). "Everything one expects from him, a heady mix of psychoanalysis, politics, theology, philosophy, and cultural studies that will leave the reader exhilarated. An excellent introduction to Zizek by Zizek" (Marcus Pound). Zizek is all that, and so much more. He is a genuine philosopher of and for our time: An anti-humanist, radical thinker steeped in the great Continental philosophical tradition (in the mold of Freud and Lacan) who is formally trained in philosophy and psychoanalysis, but is neither an academic philosopher nor practicing psychoanalyst. Like his predecessors, he is a Master Thinker with a rigorous, original, and inescapably tragic insight into and understanding of the void that is the human condition. "The Master of the counter-intuitive observation" (The New Yorker Magazine). "I always have a certain admiration for people who are aware that somebody has to do the job. What I hate about these liberal, pseudo-left, beautiful-soul academics is that they are fully aware that somebody else will do the job for them" (Slavoj Zizek). An absolute "must-have" title for Slavoj Zizek collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The First Hardcover Edition was issued without a DJ. There is NO American Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant philosopher-thinkers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SLAVOJ ZIZEK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
