@pawsoned

Your Czech is almost perfect, better than my Polish ;) cześć!

BTW. I like Zizeks ideas as well... Is he popular in Poland in general?

[pawsoned]

@radekk76 Yes I would say so among students and intelligent young people mainly. And of course in Academia - I'm writing a PHD in American Literature for example and whenever I mention (in an article or discussion) Zizek and his ideas it's like I'm revealing some kind of god

[radekk76]

@pawsoned God? So, you can cite him in this way :D

Well, if philosophy's duty is to emasculate problems, it's formalistic function is, as Delluze wrote, 'to create concepts' - to formalise and codify what is raised by literature, art and mimetic culture. It is then science's role to derive theories from these formalised questions and paradigms and attempt to find empiric disproof.

@MoveFX

.. well, the problem is than not everything can be formalised and the empirically tested by scientific theories...

... logic of human mind is more then fuzzy, an authenthic act can change discursus what is and what is not already logical...

He's so adorable.

[brotherkito]

Can anyone explain to me Zizek's concept of a false problem? Is it worrying about something untrue?

[ididete]

@logotrix you need to have your eyes and ears checked.

@zemersEU @domen130

I wrote in Czech 'coz my message was for radekk76 who, as his channel says, is from Czech. I did not say that Zizek is Czech.

[DJBUBBLEGOOSE]

Philosophy is fun, it is what marks between a human and a superior human.
