On Practice and Contradiction

By Mao Zedong and Slavoj Žižek

Book Overview

These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions, and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Žižek's firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao's thought in the revolutionary canon.
