Best of Slavoj Žižek | On cynicism, pleasure, philosophy, and more
Jump to Connections
39,331 Views • Mar 21, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
Watch 45 minutes of Žižek's best takes and perspectives over the last years on the occasion of the famous philosopher's 75th birthday.

From highlighting our need for hypocrisy and our tendencies towards cynicism, to railing against art Biennales and declaring his desire for passionate love, Žižek comments on the large and the small in his typical engaging and unapologetic style.

He is not afraid to ask any question about the human condition: what can quantum physics and video games tell us about how to live? Should we give in to pleasure or accept that it is unachievable? Does neuroscience dismantle the possibility for free will?

00:00 Introduction
00:56 Why do we live in a cynical age?
10:40 Do we need hypocrisy?
24:22 Are we capable of loving?
34:26 Is philosophy a false guide?

Happy Birthday Zizek, but likely you don't celebrate your own historical self! You are sir, the most entertaining and informative philosopher of our times. Thank you for broadening my own thoughts and feelings....

I feel like my mind has been fed, but with something that it must chew for a long time. Very enjoyable, so many ideas.

Slavoj Žižek is a genius-thinker; and years ahead of all thinker-philsophers today.... Slavoj Žižek actually thinks.... which is so extremely rare today....

A very nice compilation of Slavoy The Hurricane Zizek. One thing for me is a bit frustrating. Namely, in his talks he never goes to the end, when it comes to Trans- and Identity politics. Quote Zizek : "The problem of identity politics (...) it presupposes, that identies exist. I don't think they exist." There are quite some open words needed here, especially when we look at misery caused by the fixation on the benefits identity is supposed to bring. Compensatory Fetishism is just one terms here demanding a closer look. Sorry, I talk too much ;)
