Abstract
The present collaboration is a review of the debate between the leftist and rightist intellectuals, respectively, Slavoj Žižek and Jordan Peterson. The debate discusses important issues for the social sciences and humanities in general in the contemporary world. In this review, the debate is first contextualized, then the author delves into the main concepts adopted by Peterson in relation to Žižek. It culminates with an analysis of what postmodernism means.
