Slavoj Žižek: Is Hegel Dead—Or Are We Dead in the Eyes of Hegel? A Hegelian View of the Present Age
Deutsches Haus at NYU and the Department of German at NYU present a talk by Slavoj Žižek, Global Distinguished Professor of German at NYU, who will speak on “Is Hegel Dead—Or Are We Dead in the Eyes of Hegel? A Hegelian View of the Present Age.”

Slavoj Žižek, Ph.D., is a senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and a visiting professor at a number of American Universities (Columbia,
