Praise for Slavoj iek "iek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation."
–The New Yorker "Few thinkers illustrate the contradictions of contemporary capitalism better than Slavoj iek . . . One of the world's best-known public intellectuals."
–John Gray, New York Review of Books "The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged in many decades."
–Terry Eagleton
"[A] great provocateur and an immensely suggestive and even dashing writer . . . iek writes with passion and an aphoristic energy that is spellbinding."
