Editorial Reviews
Review
"In this dazzling dialogue, Zizek and Milbank change words and cross swords, until the point where both recognize that Christ and Hegel, in their monstrosity, look very much alike. A phenomenal achievement!"--Catherine Malabou, Maitre de Conferences, Philosophy Department, Universite Paris-X Nanterre
