Slavoj Žižek
Philosopher and Critical Theorist
Threats of catastrophe have become a part of our daily life: ecological disasters, social unrest, financial collapse, biogenetic freaks, terrorist attacks. Cultural critic Slavoj Žižek, dubbed “the most dangerous philosopher in the West,” argues that the virtual aspects of these catastrophes make up a crucial and often unanticipated part of their effects. Join him as he explores the virtual and ideological dimensions of life-altering events in a perilous world.
