Žižek’s forthcoming Hegel book

Just browsing through the new Verso catalog in the office before work this morning… I found Žižek’s forthcoming book on Hegel, Less Than Nothing. It is listed at a staggering 1,200 [sic] pages. To be published in April.

In no way do I accept the claim that Hegel is still the future and that the 21st century will be Hegelian (as the book description unsurprisingly announces). But I do enjoy the sweeping spirit of the claim, and look forward to reading the book.

My own formula remains the same: less Hegel, more Aristotle as our key background influence. Sound unfashionable? It won’t be.
