In the most rigorous articulation of his philosophical system to date, Slavoj Žižek provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism. In forging this new materialism, Žižek critiques and challenges not only the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva (to name but a few), but everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy.

Even today, we have passionate discussions about the people and their actions in the epic, fervidly defending our favourites and denouncing others. The number of works on the Mahabharata—adaptations, retellings and fiction—that still get written is a testimony to its enduring relevance. While the general storyline is largely known, a lot of questions and myths prevail, such as—What was the geographical extent of the war?

Revisiting the timeless wisdom of The Consolation of Philosophy, this work draws it into dialogue with the disquiet of the present—political repression, economic precarity, identity fragmentation, and technological disorientation. Without retreating into nostalgia or false comfort, the book asks how thought can remain steady when the world shifts, and what kind of freedom survives when all else is taken.

Drawing from years of lived experience and disciplined witnessing the author documents how emotion perception frequency and environment interact to shape human reality.
