Slavoj Zizek. Plea for Ethical Violence. 2004 1/6

[bringthoughtfulness]

Zizek just makes the mount hereb moment a clone of Lacan's backwards reasoning (reverse psychology) , but actually it means something quite different; in anycase if we accept Zizek's dumb ass view it becomes obvious the new age and the totalitarian law are pairs in a spectrum that need to be Hegelized

Oh so locke is Jewish and Berkeley new age; nice. Zizek is simple minded as always. The reason Levinas says that is only because the face is not transcendent, only because he is emphasizing this.

@AntonioMainenti "Permissivity" I think, i.e. "permissiveness". I think I've also heard him say "theologist" a few times. Endearing.

prebecibi...duh??

[bingedark]

he is so sexy =)

[4cats1room]

he's almost the epitome of sexy.

[eydos]

Zizek is a fascinating thinker, one of the few really charismatic characters still left in today`s philosophy. I like the way his thought induces healthy and creative chaos in my mind.

[iaeruo]

yes i agree, interesting the phenomeon of his rise in popularity at this point in history.

[crassconversational]

no, he's a simulacrum.

[shackleton12]

@crassconversational

no, ur a simulacrum.

[jingleshady]

Can someone explain this to me in simple terms?

[Krelianx]

No, because some things are not capable of being translated into simple terms in this world, and Zizek is not a fast food thinker.

[theholyghost]

overall, though, i would say a good quote to take away from this lecture from zizek is, "contrary to what people think, the message from pyschoanalysis is precisely: "no, enjoyment is NOT the fundamental category of your existence."" zizek says so much of society is focused on enjoying ourselves. what is freedom in america? freedom to enjoy and consume? there is an ethical element here related to what i wrote (and zizek talked about) previously vis a vis levinas that is worth listening to again.

Badiou's 15 Theses are excellen...they can be easily found in French and English via google, and are well worth reading. The one Zizek cites is one of my favorites.

Another good one:

15. It is better to do nothing than to contribute to the invention of formal ways of rendering visible that which Empire already recognizes as existent.
