Critics have accused Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek of charlatanism, while others have praised his genius, especially as a public intellectual. This makes it difficult to find a nuanced or interesting critical appraisal of his work. At its best, Žižek's work provides a new foundation for dialectical philosophy, beyond the glitz of stardom or oversimplified sinister disdain.

Žižek Responds! combines philosophers and theorists engaging with Žižek's philosophy to explore its unnoticed implications, conceptual problems, or unrealized potential. With detailed and lively responses from Žižek himself, this book offers an unique insight into how this thinker might explain, clarify, and hone some of his most controversial and misunderstood ideas. At once an introduction to Žižek's most important concepts and a rare and novel insight into his thoughts on the criticisms of his work, this is indispensable reading for both Žižekians and their critics.
