The Parallax View (Short Circuits)

The Parallax View by Slavoj Žižek is a groundbreaking work that rehabilitates dialectical materialism in today's theoretical landscape.

This magnum opus delves into the "parallax gap" separating different levels of reality, from ontological differences to scientific and political parallaxes.

With his characteristic erudition, Žižek explores three main modes of parallax: ontological difference, scientific parallax, and political parallax.

He also offers interludes on more specific topics, such as an ethical act in a Henry James novel and anti-anti-Semitism.

This comprehensive work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of reality and the ways in which we perceive and interpret it.
