Features: A child asked a priest what God looked like. The priest emotionally replied, "Whenever and wherever you see a face that expresses kindness and goodness, no matter who it belongs to, you are seeing the face of God." This heartfelt cliché reveals the truth that the supersensory can only manifest as the fleeting appearance of a worldly face, a "face." ?i?ek is a burly, bearded man. His wardrobe is filled with shirts and jeans that only the proletariat would wear, occasionally with a corduroy pants. This book includes Kant and Sade, On Total Evil and Related Issues, Hegel's "Logic of Essence" as an Ideological Theory, "I Have Eyes to Hear Your Voice," or, The Invisible Master, The Seductive Subject of Postmodernity, etc.
