Review

"Through a highly innovative gesture, Brockelman introduces a unique way of reinterpreting the entirety of the Žižek's oeuvre through the lens of his under-explored rapport with Heidegger. The thought-provoking picture of Žižek that emerges from Brockelman's careful reading is of someone who takes up the challenge of "thinking the unthought" of Heidegger's treatments of finitude and technology in light of the contemporary dominance of global capitalism. Brockelman makes an important contribution to our understanding of Žižek." — Adrian Johnston, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, USA

"Brockelman's Zizek and Heidegger offers a sparkling new assessment of Slavoj Zizek's voluminous publications by way of their different stances on human finitude. This is the first book to bring the two authors together under this heading, and it sheds invaluable new light on both thinkers. An astute and insightful philosophicalanalysis throughout makes this a unique landmark text in the study of Zizek's challenging oeuvre: Brockelman's book is the most consistently and profoundly philosophical approach ever taken to the brilliant Slovenian thinker. In the process, it casts fresh light on the question of "techno-capitalism" as this emerges in Zizek's revision of Heidegger on technology." — Edward Casey, Distinguished Professor, SUNY at Stony Brook, USA, author of numerous books, including Getting Back into Place and The World at a Glance.

... makes a significant contribution to Žižek studies and deserves to be read by those who seek to better understand his work. (, )
