And what should society do, whether on the big screen or the battlefield, in preparation for the end of the world?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgree with him or not, Zizek rarely fails to provoke in a productive fashion. By examining matters through a lens that is bold and original, and often joyfully outlandish, Zizek helps us to better grasp a world in which, increasingly, the dominant motif is one of madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slavoj Zizek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682194493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682194492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OR Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Slavoj Zizek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129046298879,"sku":"9781682194492","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_374cb17a-9c8f-49a7-864c-2210625a775f.jpg?v=1687461763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mad-world-slavoj-zizek-9781682194492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
