Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities. The 'zero-point' of the title is ground level, rock bottom, the place to which one retreats and where one regroups. Taken from Vladimir Lenin's 1922 piece 'On Ascending a High Mountain, in which Lenin considers the complexities of how one 'retreats' while keeping faith in the cause, the central simile of the climber offers a blueprint for resilience, flexibility, and the persistence of hope. This is the revolutionary as living out the Beckettian motto: 'Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' In Zizek's hands, this becomes the formula for confronting the antagonisms of existing world order. With a particular focus on the Middle East -the point at which all our tensions threaten to explode - Zizek argues nothing can be addressed meaningfully without such a confrontation.The consequences of eschewing apolitical acts of solidarity and choosing to attempt to speak truth to power are reckoned with in the second half of Zero Point. In a unique piece assembled chronologically from unpublished writings, Zizek wrestles with the fallout from his controversial speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2023 - a speech which saw him interrupted, condemned and accused of anti-Semitism. The reader bears witness as Zizek processes the criticism, evolves his thinking and explores the full ethical, political and personal ramifications of the question: When is the right time to speak Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 147 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is zero point It is the place of annihilation, whether in the form of the artificial intelligence singularity, global nuclear war unleashed by the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza or the destruction of the environment. It is the moment when it will finally, definitively be too late to speak out. It is where we are headed. In this book, Slavoj iek confronts the ethical, political and personal consequences of speaking - and the passive drift towards zero point which is the outcome of failing to do so. Taking in the rise of the far right in Europe and the conflict in Ukraine, but with a particular focus on the war in Gaza as the nexus of global antagonisms, Zero Point disavows apolitical acts of solidarity or moral judgements and challenges us, even in the 'pure now' of grief and horror, to think. Drawing on Lenin, Lacan and the thinkers of the French Revolution, Zizek trains the formidable lens of his erudition on events in Europe, Ukraine and Gaza, but also on himself. Zero Point includes a unique piece assembled chronologically from writings, sometimes fragmentary and raw, composed by iek in the wake of his October 2023 speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The speech was interrupted by local politicians backed by police, widely condemned for relativization and Hamas sympathizing, and Zizek himself accused of anti-Semitism. In Zero Point, the reader has a front-row seat to what follows as Zizek processes the shock, the criticism, the hurt - and evolves his thinking on truth and courage. Zero Point is a collection of essays on the global geopolitical situation, a philosophical examination of truth, grief and history - and a challenge to reject simple explanations, to go deeper in the face of disorientation and despair, and to confront entrophy by speaking without safety.
