GOD IN PAIN: INVERSIONS OF APOCALYPSE
Book ID/图书代码： 12070011B46689
English Summary/英文概要： A brilliant dissection and reconstruction of the three major faith-based systems of belief in the world today, from one of the world’s most articulate intellectuals, Slavoj Zizek, in conversation with Croatian theologian Boris Gunjévic. In six chapters that describe Christianity, Islam, and Judiasm in fresh ways using the tools of Hegelian and Lacanian analysis, God in Pain: Inversions of Apocalypse shows how each faith understands humanity and divinity -- and how the differences between the faiths may be far stranger than they may at first seem.

对于一个众人敬仰的真理，Zizek闭上眼睛，但却无法抑制内心的渴望去揭露它的虚伪……他是那样一种作家——既头脑清晰又晦涩难懂。如果有时人们无法理解其作品，那是因为他的思想过于复杂，而不是因为他采用一种自我欣赏的写作风格。——Terry Eagleton
Juxtaposing essays by Žižek (Monstrosity of Christ: Paradox or Dialectic?), renowned social critic and philosopher, with those of Gunjević (Crucified Subject: Without the Grail), a priest and professor, this dense and provocative theoretical assessment of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism seeks to explore the revolutionary potential of religion and to offer a critique of capitalism by drawing on the work of Lacan, Levinas, Hegel, Augustine, and others. The book is appealing for its scope of theological and political references even if the essays don’t always appear to be in dialogue with each other. Elucidating topics ranging from the sacred, cybersex, the Qur’an, Dante, paganism, the Islamic umma, Dostoyevsky, Christianity’s demystification of the sacrifice, redemption, and the necessity of an apocalyptic stance, both argue that “every theology is inherently political,” and that reference to religion “can enable political agents to break out of the ethico-legal entanglement” into what is possible. Even from their differing vantages of social critic and theologian, the authors rely on the work of Jacques Lacan and psychoanalysis as an interpretive key for religion, especially the assertion, “If God doesn’t exist, then everything is prohibited.”(Apr.10)
