In this book, Slavoj Žižek reads Hegel through Lacanian psychoanalysis, presenting Hegel as a thinker of revolution and the concrete, and uses that reading to address themes including Marx, Kant, democracy and the relationship between psychoanalysis and politics.
El más sublime de los histéricos offers Slavoj Žižek's reading of Hegel through the lens of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis, presenting Hegel as a thinker of the concrete and of revolution rather than of pure abstraction. Along the way, Žižek addresses Lacan, Marx and Kant, democracy and totalitarianism, bureaucracy and servitude, necessity and contingency, representation and image, and the relationship between communism, psychoanalysis and deconstruction, aiming to unsettle familiar readings of Hegel and propose new ways of engaging with these questions.
