<b>Kelsey Wood</b> has taught philosophy at the College of the Holy Cross, at Boston University, and at the Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of <i>T</i><i>roubling Play:  Meaning and Entity in Plato's</i> Parmenides (2005), and <i>Plato's Later Dialectic and Continental Philosophy</i> (forthcoming).
Slavoj Zizek is widely regarded as the most significant and provocative thinker of our age. He integrates concepts from the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan with Hegel's dialectical method in philosophy, for a radically new vision of human nature and human society. Zizek has written-with humor, lucidity, and extraordinary erudition-on the philosophical problem of identity, ontology, globalization, postmodernism, political philosophy, literature, film, ecology, religion, the French Revolution, Lenin, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind. <p><i>Zizek: A Reader's Guide</i> situates Zizek's wide-ranging work in the broader context of continental philosophy, engages its precedents, and provides an overview of its main preoccupations, providing a backstory for both the philosopher and the general reader.</p> <p>Moving deftly through the work of G.W.F. Hegel, F.W.J. Schelling, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Louis Althusser, and Alain Badiou, in addition to Lacan, this reader's guide offers a comprehensive overview of Slavoj Zizek's thought.</p>
