Yeah I've never ... ( 8 months ago by beautifulspam)
Yeah I've never heard the "dawkins is a fundamentalist" canard before. sometimes i think zizek's only real talent lies in making the trite sound unfamilliar.
mutistuan, check ... ( 7 months ago by Robbyd124)
mutistuan, check out "Contingency, Hegemony, Universality." I hacven't read it, but it's a diologue/debate between Zizek, Judith Butler, and Laclau. Aside from a few scattered references in the ticklish subject, I haven't heard him treat Habermas before.
Actually, Zizek is ... ( 7 months ago by Robbyd124)
Actually, Zizek is really just as atheist as those guys in some ways. Check out his article in the New York Times "Defenders of the Faith."

He touches upon Habermas in "Organs Without Bodies"
The answer to your ... ( 6 months ago by sickuntodeath2)
The answer to your question seems fairly straightforward. On one side of the coin you have religious fundamentalism, on the other side you have scientific fundamentalism. Both sides have jouissance (a certain kind of enjoyment) in arguing their respective positions. Zizek would never place reason and superstition on the same level.
Zizek is pointing ... ( 6 months ago by sweetpotos)
Zizek is pointing out how both religous and secular fundamentalists try to justify their beliefs through vulgar "rational" arguments which strangely mimic each other. The only true materialist atheism insists on the inexplicability (and indeed irrationality) of existence.
Actually, the ... ( 4 months ago by DrFeelgood)
Actually, the sounds coming from the cardiac monitor that he was mocking at the beginning of his talk are not there just "to create the atmosphere"...LOL...Everything has to be about cinema with him. The sounds are important so the doctors & nurses are aware of the patient's vital signs (heart rate primarily) immediately upon entering the room w/o having to measure them directly or even look at the monitors. That is particularly important during an unstable state, w/c is why it is in the ICU.
he might renounce ... ( 3 months ago by richidpraah)
he might renounce the idea of literal belief in obviously, in quite some senses, metarepresentated male figures buliding the universe from an ultimo of objects or however you'll downboil an objectified image of a monotheistic god. but unlike dennett (claiming himself to understand the forlornness of dualism) and dawkins etc. who does not even think they have to account for subjective experience of their slicing of being, and can offer the intellectually easiest dissections of "stupid ideas"cont-

So excite to hear ... ( 1 month ago by falstaffswims)
So excite to hear someone like Zizek engaging this. I'd like to force Ludwig Feuerbach down Christopher Hitchens's throat. I'm sure he's never bothered to read him.
I think that ... ( 1 month ago by zweer13)
I think that Descartes was actually talking about, or in the very least was affected by (or misunderstood) the doctrines of the secret societies such as the Jesuits. Such societies are based on hierarchy of deception similar to masons. This I think is reason he asks such an illogical, if you don't know the historical context, question as to whether God will lie. Yet, I cannot decide if Descartes was trying to tell us the truth, or collaborated with the codifiers of power.

The orthodoxy of "atheism" seeks to outlaw opposing philosophies.

He looks like stupid, I think he is. His "...object ideology" looks stupid after Barthes's "S/Z" and works after

He still stupid when he says "too much vulgarity 2day!!!". Really, Zizek? Wasn't it popular allways? What is marxism than?
geez so many people ... ( 4 weeks ago by iaeruo)
geez so many people are quick to criticize when they have the obscurity of youtube to hide behind. im not in complete agreement with any philosophy, but i do humble myself towards the intellecutal rigor it takes!
go back to eating mcdonalds and watching television, most of us are Lyotard's consumer of knowledge, where knowledge is a matter for tv games.

When he says "vulgar" at the beginning this is intellectual elitism. Hitchens, Dawkins et al may be vulgar in how they promote their names or the arguments they put forward (some inane). But describing them as vulgar says more about Zizek. Do you have to be a philosopher to not be vulgar? It is elitism and Zizek is on the surface scratching the surface.
Anything to avoid ... ( 2 weeks ago by dingorex)
Anything to avoid Jesus. A whole life avoiding God and human spirituality. What a waste.
Is that all you're ... ( 1 week ago by DaimonTheFallen)
Is that all you're getting from his lecture? The fact that he's an atheist and you quickly dismiss anything he has to say? Anything to avoid critical thought, what a waste.
What I like about ... ( 3 days ago by Altheiaih)
What I like about Zizek is that he speaks in simple and well structures English everyone is able understand, because usually philosophers use complicated words and complicated metaphors we people by and large don't grasp...
yeah, i think you ... ( 2 days ago by mrfatd)
yeah, i think you have a good point, calling them vulgar doesnt really mean anything
