The Four Masters examines the rise of obscene masters. Amidst surging support for authoritarian populists, self-help gurus, and an unceasing tide of disorienting news, the archetype of the master returns as a dangerously seductive figure. Against the backdrop of this crisis of authority, I argue for a philosophical and psychoanalytic re-imagining of the concept of the master. Providing a basic formula for how to resist the allure of the master, this book stages a philosophical intervention into our present moment, as well as providing an accessible introduction to key themes and concepts in Žižekian philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
The Four Masters ebook is now available exclusively on patreon.
