“I am writing a mega-book about Hegel. It is a true work of love. This is my true life’s work. Even Lacan is just a tool for me to read Hegel." —Slavoj Žižek
So that we can all be doing background reading before this Friday's overnight reading, we asked Slavoj Zizek which books influenced the writing of his Less Than Nothing. Here's the list (in no order):
Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution - Rebecca Comay
The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic - Catherine Malabou
In the Spirit of Hegel - Robert C. Solomon
The Persistence of Subjectivity: On the Kantian Aftermath - Robert Pippin
Hegel Variations: On the Phenomenology of the Spirit—Fredric Jameson
L' envers de la dialectique: Hegel à la lumière de Nietzsche - Gerard Lebrun
