Despite the fact that the starting point of the article is an attempt to analyse the views of Slavoj Žižek presented in his discussion with a theologian John Milbank in the book The Monstrosity of Christ (2009), the articles’ main goal is to analyse Žižek’s discoursive style, and the attempt to answer the question about his popularity in contemporary humanistic discourse. The analysis of the title’s metaphor The Monstrosity of Christ and the formulations of monstrosity from the author’s previous publications – The Sublime Object of Ideology, The Fragile Absolute and The Puppet and the Dwarf – leads to an attempt to analyse the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion by G.W. Hegel. In that light Žižek’s statements seem to be a final product of a consequent “preparation of the Gospel” – not in Hegel’s terms as preparatio evangelica, but as discourse. This suggests the necessity to abandon the question of the “monstrosity of Christ” and direct the attention towards the “monstrous” structure of the texts written by the author of Revolution at the Gates. This attempt is made by means of description a as well as parody; hence the romantic comedy Notting Hill becomes a basic text of culture which brings us closer to the understanding of the features of Žižek’s style of discourse.

Some authors think we live in post-ideological times. It’s possible, however, in legacy of Lenin and Marks, to lose this certainty. In preface and afterword of „Revolution at the Gates” Slavoj Žižek argues that Lenin is the most important thinker for the contemporaneity. The most crucial period of his life was between two revolutions, in February and October of 1917. Today — Slovenian intellectual believes — we also live in crucial period. For us, our February was the decline of the Soviet Union. Our October is, however, placed somewhere in the future, and — as such — unknown. In such situation we should be like Lenin between the revolutions. We should follow his pattern and act like he did, fight. The only weapon we have is our pencil. The ammunition we should use in fight for the future are Marx writings. In this paper I try to show the importance of Žižek for our thinking about present times in capitalistic world. Maybe indeed we should change it, or — at least — try to undermine, in our thinking, the present “natural” state of things?

My paper is concerned with the problem of the self-alienation of a religious person in the light of Slavoj Žižek's idea of the subject. The Slovenian thinker's theory is an example of the much broader stream of the alienational critique of religion, which is rooted in the philosophy of Hegel and represented by such thinkers as Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche and Freud. Žižek claims that religious faith makes human existence inauthentic and deceitful. He takes the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis and develops his own theory based on Lacan's distinction between the Symbolic, the Real, and the Imaginary. According to Žižek, we face a paradoxical situation in our present culture. On the one hand, deep and „inner” faith is dying. On the other hand, however, faith, far from loosing its power, is gaining even greater control over man and is taking on new forms. One of these forms, which has become popular in our times is the pure external, conformist, cynical, and instrumental form of religious faith. Žižek (inspired by Lacan) analyses this phenomenon using the concept of the subject situated „outside”, namely in the Symbolic. He argues that the contemporary subject, contrary to what may seem to be the case, is still much involved in faith and religion. Moreover, cynical faith is a much greater pitfall than deep faith.
