Kierkegaard and Philosophy: Selected Essays Book

'Organs Without Bodies' was an interesting and even entertaining read. However, if one expects this to be an in-depth commentary or critique on Deleuzian thought, prepare to be disappointed. The book rather seems to be a collection of essays that sometimes 'encounter' the thought of Deleuze, but other thinkers as well (such as Alain Badiou).

Nonetheless, some of the ideas that Žižek develops in 'Organs Without Bodies' are quite inspiring and stimulating. Moreover, I found Žižek's reading of Deleuze to be very fruitful. He punctures and transforms Deleuzian lingo to his own advantage - something which Deleuze enjoys doing to other authors as well. Although this is probably very upsetting for a Deleuze-scholar ("This is all wrong!"), I found it daring and sometimes illuminating.

In short, 'Organs Wihtout Bodies' is an interesting read. Although I would not deem this book to be of much use for academic purposes, I did find it inspiring and stimulating for the development of my own ideas. Take the book for what it is; don't burn it for what it's not.
