If we want to be true atheists, do we have to begin with a religious edifice and undermine it from within?

Slavoj Žižek has long been a commentator on, and critic of, Christian theology. His preoccupation with Badiou's concept of 'the event' alongside the Pauline thought of the New Testament has led to a decidedly theological turn in his thinking. Drawing on traditions and subjects as broad as Buddhist thought, dialectical materialism, political subjectivity, quantum physics, AI and chatbots, this book articulates Žižek's idea of a religious life for the first time.

Christian Atheism is a unique insight into Žižek's theological project and the first book-length exploration of his religious thinking. In his own words, "to become a true dialectical materialist, one should go through the Christian experience." Crucial to his whole conception of 'experience' is not some kind of spiritual revelation but rather the logic of materialistic thought. This affirmation of Christian theology whilst simultaneously deconstructing it is a familiar Žižekian move, but one that holds deep-seated political, philosophical and, in the end, personal import for him.

Here is Žižek’s most extensive treatment of theology and religion to date.©2024 Slavoj Žižek (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Christianisme Idéologies et doctrines Philosophie Politique et gouvernement Psychologie Psychologie et psychiatrie Théologie

Commentaires

In Christian Atheism, Slavoj Žižek probes the boundaries between Christianity, atheism and materialism through analyses of modern thinkers including Hegel, Marx and Lacan. The book simultaneously affirms and deconstructs Christian theology, arguing for its relevance in conceiving of contemporary political commitment. Žižek’s knack for drawing together disparate stands of thought to explore emancipatory politics makes for a challenging and perceptive book.
