And what should society do, whether on the big screen or the battlefield, in preparation for the end of the world?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgree with him or not, Žižek rarely fails to provoke in a productive fashion. By examining matters through a lens that is bold and original, and often joyfully outlandish, Žižek helps us to better grasp a world in which, increasingly, the dominant motif is one of madness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42451738034237,"sku":"9781682194492","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781682194492_p0.jpg?v=1771583289","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781682194492","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
