The Fragile Absolute: Or, Why Is the Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For? by Slavoj Žižek

3.0

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.
