Žižek’s Hegel: Less than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism

Authors

Abstract

Followers of Slavoj Žižek’s work had long been awaiting his “big book on Hegel.” In interviews and other appearances, he made no secret of the fact that this work was in progress and, furthermore, that he considered it to be a labour of love, his magnum opus, and, in a sense, a culmination. Big the book certainly is—1010 pages of text to be precise. If such a book were to be written by any other author, readers would doubtless have waited considerably longer to receive it. But so prolific is this author that the waiting has been minimal, and many readers will doubtless take longer to read the book in its entirety than Žižek took to write it.
