Slavoj Žižek is a Hegelian philosopher, a Lacanian psychoanalyst, and a Communist. He is Visiting Professor at the New York University, USA, and Senior Researcher at the Department of Philosophy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

In Christian Atheism, Slavoj Žižek probes the boundaries between Christianity, atheism and materialism through analyses of modern thinkers including Hegel, Marx and Lacan. The book simultaneously affirms and deconstructs Christian theology, arguing for its relevance in conceiving of contemporary political commitment. Žižek’s knack for drawing together disparate stands of thought to explore emancipatory politics makes for a challenging and perceptive book.
