The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Zizek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascisms, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the singular: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump's America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us - like 'post-truth'- to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of hypocrisy, self-deception and what is real that have \u003ci\u003ealways \u003c\/i\u003ebeen stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, these interventions are both timely and resolute. From the so-called \"death of truth\" opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth... or for an even bigger lie. And ultimately we must ask - what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eLiberal Fascisms\u003c\/i\u003e is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slavoj Zizek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.77h x 5.14w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350573161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlavoj Zizek\u003c\/b\u003e is a Hegelian philosopher, a Lacanian psychoanalyst, and a Communist.
