Moin que rien is a French translation of a thousand-page monumental book by Slavoj Žižek Less than Nothing, the pinnacle publication of a distinguished career. Žižek argues that it is imperative that we not simply return to Hegel but that we repeat and exceed his triumphs, overcoming his limitations by being even more Hegelian than the master himself. Such an approach not only enables Žižek to diagnose our present condition, but also to engage in a critical dialogue with the key strands of contemporary thought - Heidegger, Badiou, speculative realism, quantum physics, and cognitive sciences.

In Trouble in Paradise, Slavoj Žižek, explains how by drawing on the ideas of communism, we can find a way out of the crisis of capitalism. There is obviously trouble in the global capitalist paradise. But why do we find it so difficult to imagine a way out of the crisis we're in? Setting out to diagnose the condition of global capitalism, the ideological constraints we are faced with in our daily lives, and the bleak future promised by this system, Žižek explores the possibilities - and the traps - of new emancipatory struggles. Drawing insights from phenomena as diverse as Gangnam Style to Marx, The Dark Knight to Thatcher, Trouble in Paradise is an incisive dissection of the world we inhabit, and the new order to come.

The book Dialectics of the Reflexive Drive reflects upon this era in which we are faced with many changes induced by a re-institution of capitalism and the euphoria of privatization. Nowadays, the unifying force of utopia is lacking which united us in a democratic community and allowed the choice of quality, as opposed to today's struggle for survival in which everything is reduced to quantity measured by (in)solvency. Life beyond economical constraints still remains a motive of thought for humanities, and philosophy remains its foundation.

Dynamical philosophy changes our views concerning philosophy of mind, epistemology, metaphysics and ethics, vagueness and truth. Dynamical cognition thesis affirms intractable richness, all in preserving the structure. Mathematical description fits the middle level of a cognitive system. Supervenience helps the plausibility of nonreductionism. Epistemology is transformed by taking into account morphologoical content as the cognitive background. Metaphysics offers one rich universe without any parts, with possibility to correctly assert truth about it in an indirect manner. Vagueness is transvaluated. Metaethics is irrealist. Intentionality is related to the qualitative consciousness.

The monograph is placed in the picturesque landscape of modernity, modern art, modernism, historical avant-garde, neo-avantgarde, trans-avantgarde, retro-garde, and contemporary art with a number of studies which, taken together, refer in their title to the famous Courbet's painting, but mostly pointing towards the side where his friends are gathered. The goal of the treatise is to revive the Marxist aesthetics, which means to relate the modern aesthetic issues to the critique of political economy, where Marx's unwritten aesthetics could perhaps be found.
