Slavoj Zizek Picks His Best Three Books

[JohnNobody_]

Three of my best books are, unfortunately, four!
—Zizek

[Atsab]

So:
-The Sublime Object of Ideology (1989)
-Tarrying with the Negative: Kant, Hegel, and the Critique of Ideology (1993)
-The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Center of Political Ontology (1999)
-The Parallax View (2006)
Four, fortunately!

[Jawshuah]

Slavoj needs to dress likes this more often

[omerpasa]

1-Sublime object
2-Tarrying with negative
3-The Ticklish Subject
4-now the new one ???!

[IvoMaropo]

Do not forget your For They Know Not What They Do, Slavoj! Brilliant work.

[marcostorrestaboada]

hahahahaha, that ending was the most. I love him a lot

[octopusexperiment]

Also shout out to How To Read Lacan, its not really a zizek book (does what it says on the cover) but its very helpful for Lacanian concepts and very comprehensible i found.

[Sunshine]

sometimes, it's funny to think that his way of talking is always funny.

[danalexander]

Zizek’s fourth favorite book is: “Lose Your Lisp in 30 Days” by Dr. Jason Sweers, M.D.

Tried to read Tarrying with the negative after finding it in a give and take bookshelf.

Didn't understand a thing. It seemed like I would have needed to read a shit ton of Descartes and Kant to understand the first chapter alone.

Does the full interview exist on YouTube?

"You cannot really accept that, that piece of meat, that's thought" amen.

[l_shaun_bunds_l]

Sublime object is just another collection

[irfanimp]

Never tickle a genius! Or he'll spit in your face!.Zizek.

[jordifaxon]

now with hindsight we'd add less than nothing and sex and the failed absolute

[dodekaedius]

Somehow, I missed the part, where he picks his three best books. Subtitles would be helpful

[l_shaun_bunds_l]

Plague of fantasies, ticklish subject at least

[debranchistesdumondeentier]

which one is the new one? 2005=Puppet and dwarf 2003? Parallax view 2006? How to read Lacan 2006?

[andymarin]

What is this "New One" that he is referring to?

[ЕвгенийБаруздин-ив]

He is too speedy, that's for sure!
