Violence: Six Sideways Reflections by Slavoj Žižek

1.0

Feels sorta like those rappers who try to fit in as many syllables into a line as they can. There's style here, but that rhetorical profile is far more unified than the argument/arguments itself. He doesn't stay on any point long enough to really shake the foundations of what he is questioning, and the case studies don't cohere into anything beyond a set of remarks around the theme. I'm willing to give him another shot for sure, but I just didn't find this one convincing or even intellectually provocative.
