Fiel a su estilo irónico y mordaz, Zizek recorre, en esta serie de textos políticos, los cimientos de las civilizaciones occidentales modernas.
Spoiler alert: la conclusión es cínica.
¿Qué es lo que hace que la realidad sea soportable y podamos enfrentarla? "Lo siento, pero la hipocresía es la base de la civilización.
Los rituales y las apariencias sí importan.
Si abandonamos las apariencias y enfrentamos la realidad, esta suele ser bastante horrible.

Decent compilation of some of the most accesible texts of Slavoj.
That said, once you know one, you already know all.
