Danger
Žižek's "Living in the End Times" (Verso, natch) has a prominent cover quote calling him "the most dangerous philosopher in the West", a phrase that remains with me all morning as I imagine "the most dangerous microtonal composer in the West" or "the most dangerous sheep in the paddock". Is he a particularly bad driver? Does he own more guns than the average philosopher? Is he radioactive? We should be told.Labels: books, easy targets, philosophy
