| book description |

Repeating Å½iÅ¾ek offers a serious engagement with the ideas and propositions of philosopher Slavoj Å½iÅ¾ek. Often subjecting Å½iÅ¾ek's work to a Å½iÅ¾ekian analysis, this volume's contributors consider the possibility (or impossibility) of formalizing Å½iÅ¾ek's ideas into an identifiable philosophical system. They examine his interpretations of Hegel, Plato, and Lacan, outline his debates with Badiou, and evaluate the implications of his analysis of politics and capitalism upon Marxist thought. Other essays focus on Å½iÅ¾ek's approach to Christianity and Islam, his ""sloppy"" method of reading texts, his relation to current developments in neurobiology, and his theorization of animals. The book ends with an afterword by Å½iÅ¾ek in which he analyzes Shakespeare's and Beckett's plays in relation to the subject. The contributors do not reach a consensus on defining a Å½iÅ¾ekian school of philosophy-perhaps his idiosyncratic and often heterogeneous ideas simply resist synthesis-but even in their repetition of Å½iÅ¾ek, they create something new and vital.
