Summary:On iek's Dialectics explores the theoretical and practical potential of the psychoanalytic method deployed by Slavoj iek by investigating its epistemological implications within our contemporary capitalist universe. The book begins by evaluating Zizek's account of the capitalist ideology of enjoyment through the analysis of Lacan's critique of Marx's surplus-value. If the originality of iek's wager lies in the claim that enjoyment secretly sustains our ideological space, can we think of surplus- jouissance in a way that not only unmasks the ruse of capitalism but also adumbrates the cons.
