Slavoj i ek is one of the world's foremost cultural commentators: a prolific wri
ter and thinker, whose vividly adventurous, unorthodox and wide-ranging writings
have won him a unique place as one of the most high profile thinkers of our tim
e. Covering psychoanalysis, philosophy and popular culture and drawing on a head
y mix of Marxist politics, Hegelian dialectics and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the
writings collected in Interrogating the Real reflect not only the remarkable ext
ent of i ek's varied interests, but also reveal his controversial and dynamic st
yle.
