In such miraculous but extremely fragile moments, another dimension transpires through our reality. As such, the Absolute is easily corroded; it slips all too easily through our fingers and must be handled as carefully as a butterfly,
Once again a tumult of thought leaves me throttled by the ghost of Lacan. His work and ideas are my nemesis. The blockages taunt me and usually are usually resolved with this specter pushing me into the bushes and maybe delivering a kick in my ribs. I do love Slavoj but I need to strengthen my foundation in Lacan to pursue these with aplomb.

I love Žižek and his work but I had a difficult time with this book. Žižek draws a lot from Lacan and I know very little of the Lacanian school of psychoanalytic thought so I wasn't able to enjoy the book as much as I've enjoyed some other works of Žižek. However, the book does offer a lot engagement with Žižek's critiques of popular culture, world events, and religion even though most of it was beyond my understanding.
A complex journey where you may get easily lost if you are seduced by zizek sidelines. You should know a bit of lacan to understand what going on ( even hegel, kant)

Eu não seria leviana de afirmar que "entendi" muito do que acabei de ler, mas tudo o que de fato coube no meu horizonte de sentido foi tão maravilhosamente desorientante que, de fato, não me é dado descrever os efeitos surtidos sobre o que ali já estava. "Não-sei-o-que-pensar-nem-dizer-só-sentir" et cetera e tal. E tal.
Que leitura absolutamente sensacional.

a few chapters were just unnecessarily included, or the title is very misleading

I feel my rating may be a bit unfair as while I love zizek, I had taken a bit of a break from philosophy and diving back in with this book may have been a poor choice. Despite (or maybe even because of) it's length, it is quite dense and tough to understand many of the points and how they relate to the promised premise. Perhaps because it is short, it didn't have the time to spend on catching a reader up to speed and instead comes right at them at full force. It warrants a re-read whenever I've warmed back up to this intellectual realm.

There's a lot here that is buried, but the last 40 pages or so to me hold the most fruit for me and shows that Zizek does "understand" Christianity and correctly identifies why it is important to keep.
