“After going through the manuscript of Bradley Kaye's book dedicated to my work, my first reaction was horror – horror and fascination at how Kaye seems to understand me better than I understand myself. The reader gets in his book everything: a clear and balanced description of my basic ideas from my atheist theology to concrete political analyses, an outline of the field of contemporary thought to which I belong, and some subtle critical remarks. My gratitude to Kaye is immense: he confirmed my old belief that the truth of some theory can be best perceived from outside – an external gaze can note details that escape the author itself. But his book is about much more than my work – it provides (in a much more systematic way than I was able to do in my work) a terrifying vision of the mad world in which we leave. To all who will read it, it will have a sobering effect, enabling them to dispel much of the ideological mist in which we feel at home.” (Slavoj Žižek)
