The Fragile Absolute: Or, Why Is The Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For?: Or, Why Is The Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For? (Essential Zizek): Or, Why ... Legacy Worth Fighting For? (Essential Zizek)

Plot

One of the signal features of our era is the re-emergence of the ‘sacred’ in all its different guises, from New Age paganism to the emerging religious sensitivity within cultural and political theory.The wager of Žižek’s The Fragile Absolute – published here with a new preface by the author – is that Christianity and Marxism can fight together against the contemporary onslought of vapid spiritualism. The revolutionary core of the Christian legacy is too precious to be left to the fundamentalists.
