斯拉沃熱·齊澤剋 斯洛文尼亞盧布爾雅那大學社會學和哲學高級研究員，拉康傳統最重要的繼承人。他長期緻力於溝通拉康精神分析理論與馬剋思主義的哲學，將精神分析、主體性、意識形態和大眾文化熔於一爐，形成瞭極為獨特的學術思想和政治立場，成為20世紀90年代以來最為耀眼的國際學術明星之一。被一些學者稱為黑格爾式的思想傢。他曾任法國巴黎第八大學、美國明尼蘇達大學、哥倫比亞大學、普林斯頓大學等許多知名高等院校的訪問教授、活躍於各種哲學、精神分析和文化批評國際姆遜說他“發齣瞭一種不平常的聲音，我們將在今後數年內反復聆聽”。伊格爾頓評價他是歐洲近十年來最重要的思想傢之一。

'From now on, even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way; everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!' Saint Paul's militant declaration from Corinthians asserts for the first time in human history the revolutionary logic of a radical break with the past--with it, the age of Cosmic Balance and similar pagan babble is over. What does it mean to return to this stance today? One of the most deplorable aspects of our postmodern era is the re-emergence of the "sacred" in all its different guises, from New Age paganism to the emerging religious sensitivity within deconstructionism itself. How is a Marxist to counter this massive onslaught of obscurantism? The wager of Zizek's The Fragile Absolute is that Christianity and Marxism should fight together against the onslaught of new spiritualism. The subversive core of the Christian legacy is much too precious to be left to the fundamentalists. Here is a fitting contribution from a Marxist to the 2000th anniversary of one who was well aware that to practice love in our world is to bring in the sword and fire.
