A spectre is haunting Western academia, the spectre of the Cartesian subject
Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a sen-ior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Ticklish Subject may be his most focused and most political
book to date.
*Lingua Franca*
Discussing Hegel and Lacan is like breathing for Slavoj.
*Judith Butler*
Slavoj Zizek's argument is subtle, witty and impassioned, and this
book-his fourteenth in nine years-confirms his status as one of the
most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left.
