Å½iÅ¾ek demands we take a long, hard look at the painful reality of education in contemporary capitalist society, and to actively seek out its ''trouble in paradise'': Why is it education is supposedly failing to meet the demands of our society? Why is it there are record levels of stress for teachers? Why is it there is a record level of complaints from our university students? How is it now possible to compare a higher education course with a vacuum cleaner, toaster or television? This book illuminates aspects of Å½iÅ¾ek''s ideas which sheds light into these modern challenges and tensions in education, and considers alternative ways forward. Though Å½iÅ¾ek frustrates as much as he inspires with his own recipe of Lacan, Hegel and Marx, this book aims to give an entry route into Å½iÅ¾ekian critique of education, a topic area he very rarely directly talks about.
