"Through a highly innovative gesture, Brockelman introduces a unique way of reinterpreting the entirety of the Žižek's oeuvre through the lens of his under-explored rapport with Heidegger. The thought-provoking picture of Žižek that emerges from Brockelman's careful reading is of someone who takes up the challenge of "thinking the unthought" of Heidegger's treatments of finitude and technology in light of the contemporary dominance of global capitalism. Brockelman makes an important contribution to our understanding of Žižek." - Adrian Johnston, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, USA
